' J That Body Of Your: ' By James w. autos. nun. N19 wssruvo or -rnvaoui ouxn

MAY CAUSE SYMPTOMS IN ELDERLY PATIENT

Many of us have the idea that as we grow older we must expect to become weak. tire easily. be af- flicted with rheumatism and arth- ritis and other ailments. Aside from weakness and tiring more readily. the average healthy. man and woman as they grow older do not "need" to have various ailments. Thus in Geriatrics. the medical journal for physicians treating the elderly. we find the statement by Drs. S. T. Kimble and E. J. smeg- litz that ”dimlnished physical en- durance. lassltude. general stiffness and the aching in the elderly, are often attributed to the aging pro- cess and accepted as irremediable. that is cannot be prevented or cured."

As many of the above symptoms may be due to the gradual wasting away of the thyroid gland in the neck. Drs. Kimble and Stieglitz studied 82 hypothyroid (under- actlve thyroid gland) patients of mature years and were able to show significant relief of symp- toms by th euse of desiccated (dry) thyroid extract.

With the loss of thyroid juice from the wasting away of the thy- roid gland. deceleration or slowness in the oxidative processes of var- ious tissues occurs. causing degen- eration of these tlsues of the skin. muscle. heart and blood vessels and the symptoms of which the pat- ient complains.

The metabolism rate (rate at which the body processes work) de- creases and fatty substances are not burned or used and become de- posited on inner or living coat of the blood vessels and so believed to increase or raise the blood pres- sure.

The coming on of this wasting or slowing up of the thyroid gland is slow and the physician may not suspect this slowing up of being the cause of the symptoms. chiefly getting tired easily both physically and mentally. unable to stand the cold. dryness of the skin and dry brittle hair. There is often. but not always a tendency to gain weight. Sometimes there is dry doughy skin. poor muscle tone and dry brittle hair. All the 82 patients were treat- ed with one grain of thyroid ex- tract or slightly less daily at. the beginning and dose gradually in- creased. Satisfactory results were obtained within six months.

”Gratifying early return of men- tal alertness and physical vigor fol- lows administration of thyroid sub- stances to the patient with under- actlve thyroid gland."

The thought then is that as men and women grow older. small doses of thyroid extract may give them a physical and mental boost.

Ger- aniums are lovely all year and some windows were filled with color. -especlauy in some villages we hurried through. and this trip was climaxed by a visit to a. dear old lady who will celebrate her nine- tieth birthday this week. It was an inspiration to talk with the bright and interesting lady and we had much in common....her north east window was filled with well known begonlas covered with rosy-pink flowers and they yvere gifts for others. and I was not forgotten but carried a box filled with slips when it was time to leave. She was afraid that the soil was not all it should be as in a city it is difficult to renew with good earth when it is needed. However it. must have been the care and love she gave her win- dow sill gardening because with all the difficulties she had en- countered they were lovely plants and she was giving Joy to many with them.

you will have to be the one to get hold of yourself. face the present and future logically. then proceed to give Roger a litite backbone. Thousands and thousands of young men are serving our country in the armed forces. Many of them like it no better than does Roger. but they have the stamina to face duty with courage and common sense. Thousands of them have left wives and mothers behind, thou- sands have left families. If you read the papers. you'll see that the drafting of fathers is getting closer and closer, so there": no guarantee U133 3 baby would htlvc eliminated Roger as a drnft prospect.-

It is reasonable to nssume that since all pcoplc don't have the same stability, s regimented life may be harder on some than on oth- ers. Whether or not Roger is not of the very few who cannot be orientated to the service. the psychiatrist at his camp can readily determine. This. however. I do not believe to be the case. Your husband has leaned too much on you in the past. and it is the fact that the prop has been removed that unnerves him.

As for your own loneliness. you have a job that keeps you busy and. with a little effort rewnrdlng outside activities can be found. There are plenty of women in the same situation. Surely you can locate some among your acquaintances and form a nucleus of wives and fiancees of servicemen? The fact. that your friends have begun to forsake you is readily understandable. You've turned into a cry- baby and complalner; the most. unwelcome combination in any group. Moving near camp would. at best. be only a temporary answer to your problem since there is no assurance that your husband wonit he transferred elsewhere. So keep your apartment, work hard at your job. stop grlplng and make friends. After all. Roger is not serving an indeterminate jail sentence. He's doing a job and one he should be proud of. Part of his service time has passed and the rest will go quickly. Unless you want to emerge from the situation a physical and mental wreck. change things as quickly as possible and be ready to resume your happy marriage when Roger comes home for good. Best of luck!

DEAR MISS DIX: I am 19. and have been going steady with a boy the same age for a year. Recently we broke up. Since then we have gone on several dates together and have spoken of going ateddy again. but he says it won't work out this time. since it didn't before. Much of our trouble In the past was due to my mistakes, which I can see now. I certainly wouldn't repeat them. love: me and I love him, but how can I prove it to him?

ANSWER: A boy of 19 has much less emotional stability than a girl the same age. and I think this boy of yours is still flounder- ing in a mire of uncertainty trying to find the answer to Cupid's problems.

Give him a little more time but keep thopeleunesl of the present situation. tell him you have bothfrsveled that ground a dozen times and you prefer to talk a else.
