DR. LAWRENCE E. LAMB
Now His Leg Remains Numb
By Lawrence Lamb, M.D.
Dear Dr. Lamb—l always
read your column and agree
with you that it is dangerous
to ignore a slipped disc. I
know, because I went
through it. I let mine go un
til I could not take the pain
any more in the back and leg
so I called my doctor and he
put me in the hospital and
I had surgery on my back.
But I let it go so long it
damaged my leg and foot
for life. My back is fine now
but my leg on one side and
my foot is numb. I had the
operation 15 months ago.
Dear Reader—Thank you
for your letter and it certain
ly serves as a good illustra
tion of the problem. When
ever the small disc between
the vertebrae protrudes in
such away as to cause me
chanical pressure on any of
the nerves, it needs correc
tion. If pressure is applied

TOKYO (UPl)—Kakuei Tana
ka, 54, a pro-American politi
cian who rose from farmboy to
industrial magnate, was elected
prime minister of Japan today
to climax a hectic campaign to
select a successor to Eisaku
Sato.
Tanaka will officially take
office Thursday following his
certification by the Diet (par
liament).
Under Japan’s parliamentary
system, delegates of the ruling
party elect a party chief who

Reader ignored slipped disc
too long on the spinal cord
or nerves, it can cause
permanent damage.
Os course, every case is
different and there is no way
the patient by himself can
tell whether he is really
damaging the nerve or not.
But his doctor can tell. Thus
it is very important that if
the doctor advises that the
time has come for disc surg
ery, you should go along
with his recommendation
without undue delay.
Your case also points up
the importance of going to
see your doctor early when
symptoms of numbness in
the leg or problems we com
monly associate with slipped
discs occur. Go see him in
time that you can hope to
recover without a numb leg
or numb foot.
Dear Dr. Lamb—ln an is

automatically assumes the post
of prime minister.
Tanaka was elected on the
second ballot of a nationally
televised special election called
by the ruling liberal Democrat
ic party. He polled a majority
of 282 votes with a total of 476
party delegates casting ballots.
Tanaka beat former Foreign
Minister Takeo Fukuda in a
runoff made necessary because
none of the original four
candidates got a majority on
the first ballot. Fukuda had 190
votes.
cyclopedia a doctor wrote
that alopecia areata causing
total baldness was usually
psychogenic but hair may
regrow when the emotion
producing situation is con
trolled, or eliminated. Would
you please explain this?
Dear Reader—The writer
is referring to the observa
tion that people can lose hair
from being nervous. You can
appreciate the fact that this
is a vicious cycle—that once
one begins to lose hair from
nervousness he usually gets
nervous because he’s losing
the hair. And so it goes. If
the person can be reassured
and the basic cause for ten
sion resolved, the hair grad
ually grows back and the
problem disappears.
This should not be con
fused with all the many oth
er reasons for loss of hair.
Hair loss can be a normal
Tanaka recently introduced a
radical plan to revamp Japan's
industrial organization. The
plan would move heavy indus
try out of congested urban
areas in an effort to reduce the
nation’s growing pollution.
In foreign affairs, Tanaka
advocates continued close ties
with the United States while
trying to bring normal relations
between Japan and China.
Tanaka, sometimes called a
“computerized bulldozer” be
cause of his decisiveness and
his adroitness in mathematics,
was a loyal aide to Sato, who

Georgians to vote
on relocation plan
ATLANTA (UPI) - Federal
officials say Georgia won’t suf
fer any immediate loss of fed
eral funds for highways, public
housing and other programs.
But the state could be in a
bind if voters don’t approve in
November a Constitutional
amendment to bring Georgia
into full compliance with the
Uniform Relocation Act of 1970.
The act requires states after
July 1 to share with the federal
government the cost of relocat
ing families and businesses, but
Georgia law prohibits state par
ticipation.
Also there is pending legisla
tion in Congress, which con
venes July 17, to exempt
Explore
ATLANTA (UPl)—Art Duco,
25, an Atlanta schoolteacher,
will take off soon to explore the
Great Northwest Territory,
which he calls “the last physi
cal frontier in the Northern
Hemisphere.”
He’ll carry a pack on his
back, a geiger counter within
his reach and will ride a motor
cycle up the lonely MacKenzie
Highway, which ends just 300
miles shy of the Arctic Circle.
There are only four settlements
where he can stop for supplies
on the way.

women often lose hair from
some of their habits which
include inappropriate use of
hair cosmetics, pulling and
