dread disease reported in the
United States this year.
Dr. Taira Fukushima, direc
tor of the Utah Bureau of
Disease Prevention, said tests
confirmed Wednesday that the
young boy had the plague.
Fukushima said doctors sus
pected it when the boy was
hospitalized in late August.
“We were fortunate. We
caught it early, and treated it
early,” the doctor said. “The
plague is easy to cure if you
catch it soon enough. The boy
will be going home in a few
days.”
Fukushima said a special
plague unit from the U.S.
Public Service in Fort Collins,
Colo., was investigating to find
out where the boy contracted
the disease. Local health
officials suspect it came from
infected rodents.
“You know how young boys
are,” he said. “We know that
other members of the boy’s
family had been trapping
squirrels and other rodents.
They also have several wild
animals as pets.”
Fukushima said the plague
was common in Utah’s rodent
population, but rarely was
transferred to man.
A New Mexico girl died of the
disease earlier this summer.

DEAR DR. LAMB - What
causes sluggishness? Does it
occur in everyone after 45
years of age? Is lack of exer
cise, drinking too little water,
overeating, being overweight
and heavy food part of the
problem?
DEAR READER - There
are many causes, and it most
definitely is not necessary
just because you are 45. Some
of the most alert, active and
interested people I know are
well over 45. It is often a
frame of mind, basically a
lack of interest in life and
your environment. Often it is
from a lack of challenge.
Considering all the problems
in the world to be tackled,
that seems a bit ridiculous.
At about middle-age many
people give up their dreams
or realize the limited ones
they started out with. The
kids are raised or off to
school. The man is usually in
a steady job and things settle
down to between the peaks of
tweedle dee and ho hum. Now
you can be tired, or as you
say sluggish, for medical rea
sons, too, but in the vast num
ber of instances it is related
to boredom and personality
or psychological factors. Just
look how energetic you get
when you get mad.
All those other things you
mention are important, but
they often follow as a result
of loss of interest in other
things besides food and
television.
DEAR DR. LAMB - My
husband is a diabetic. He
takes insulin two times a day
and Hydergine tablets to
keep his blood vessels open.
They were closing due to
diabetes. My question is, will
smoking two packs of
cigarettes a day cause him to
be tired all the time? He is
only 43 years old. Will it close
his blood vessels? And, will a
shot of whiskey help his cir
culation?
DEAR READER - No
diabetic should smoke. No
one else should either for that
matter. A diabetic has an in
creased likelihood of fatty
cholesterol deposits in the ar
teries and changes in the ar
teries leading to heart at
tacks, strokes and poor cir
culation to the legs. This
often contributes to

What causes
sluggishness?
gangrene. Tobacco
multiplies the likelihood of
these problems in both nor
mal people and diabetics. It
is plain common sense that if
you have an increased risk to
start with that you shouldn’t
multiply it.
Cigarette smoke causes the
small platelets in the blood,
responsible for the formation
of a blood clot, to clump. This
may be a factor in the in
creased incidence of heart
attacks and vascular disease
in cigarette smokers.
Whiskey does not keep the
circulation open. It does noth
ing beneficial for the circula
tion. It’s only possible benefit
is as a tranquilizer. For peo
ple who need a tranquilizer,
you can get some benefit that
way, but usually being depen
dent on alcohol for that is a
mistake also. In the diabetic
it can contribute to liver
damage. Fatty liver is often a
complication of diabetes so it
should be used sparingly, if at
all, by a diabetic. Diabetes
can cause fatigue, but so can
many other factors.

STINSON BEACH, Calif.
(UPI) — Larry Capune, 31,
paddling his surf board from
Oregon to San Diego, stopped
at Stinson Beach Wednesday
and told sunbathers he was
setting an example for youth.
Capune said he wanted to
show youngsters that they “can
take different kinds of trips”
for enjoyment instead of
turning to drugs.
He left Brookings, Ore., 25
days ago.
