Polly’s Pointers
Cast about for
cotton stockings
By Polly Cramer
Polly’s Problem
DEAR POLLY — My son has a broken foot in a cast
almost to his knee. I would like to know the best way to
keep dirt and sand from getting inside the cast when he is
playing out of doors. — RUBY.
DEAR RUBY — Why not buy a pair of large size (grown
up) cotton stockings that are large enough to slip over the
cast. While one stocking is being worn over the cast, the
other one can be in the laundry. His cast will stay clean
with no danger of anything getting inside it. — POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — I am sure you get thousands of Pointers and
Pet Peeves but my Pet Peeve is to send in a Pointer and then a
few months later see it in the column from someone else. It does
not bother me a bit to see a Pointer that I have been doing for
years but never sent in. But after doing something, never seeing
it in the column and then sending it in only to see someone beat
me to it in print is sort of peeving. This has happened to me but
certainly will not stop me. Nor will it stop me from reading the
column and adding to my collection of Pointers. Bet you will not
print this one. — MRS. A.C.L.
DEAR MRS. A.C.L. — You lost your bet but I must say you are
a good sport and I do appreciate your understanding. I can well
imagine your annoyance but sometimes one mail will have the
same Pointer from several people. We do try to be as fair as
possible and stick to first come, first served. Thanks for sticking
with us. Do believe we are doing our best to be completely fair
and appreciate every Pointer sent in. — POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — I had a new paint brush that I used with a
latex paint antiquing kit but lost the directions for cleaning the
brush The first coat washed out with soap and water but the
wood graining stain left the brush sticky after such a washing. I
was at a loss as to what I could do. I spied my pre-wash spray,
spray some on the brush, rubbed it in and then washed it in soap
and water This morning my brush was not only clean and
thoroughly dry but softer than the day I bought it. — ESTHER.
DEAR POLLY — I have discovered away to swim without hav
ing to worry about my hair set. I bought a rectangle of chamois
about 10" by 26" and folded it in half so as to have a 13” length,
folded this over in three sections to get six thicknesses. Gather
the hair up from the back and sides, put cap on and place this rec
tangular chamois underneath back and sides of the cap to cover
the ears Fasten cap’s chin strap If never put in the sun to dry
this chamois will last for years and be well worth the money
spent — JULIE.

Dr, Lamb
Diet important
for angina victims
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - I read a
column by you recently about
the man who recovered from
angina pectoris. You ignored
completely a very important
fact, that the man discarded
the use of nitroglycerin pills
and by using "Questran" he
cured his angina pectoris and
became a completely re
juvenated 100 per cent new
man. Why?
A lot of angina pectoris vic
tims will marvel at this
writer’s playing tennis, bicycle
riding, etc at age 71 without
any more heart attacks.
Why don’t all doctors recom
mend Questran instead of
nitroglycerin pills?
DEAR READER - No, I
didn’t ignore it, I just ran out of
space The man wrote primari
ly about the role of a low-fat,
low-saturated-fat diet and the
value of polyunsaturated fat.
Questran is a useful medicine
in many patients. It acts by
combining with bile salts in the
intestine. This increases the
elimination of bile salts through
the bowel. Since bile salts are
made from cholesterol, this
leads to a gradual decrease in
blood cholesterol levels. The
medicine is used mostly in
patients with high cholesterol
but normal blood fat levels.
The medicine does not
replace the value of a proper
diet. Often a person can
significantly reduce the
cholesterol level by getting rid
of every last ounce of extra fat
he doesn’t need. The loss of ex
cess fat alone often improves a
patient’s angina (chest pain
from the heart) dramatically.
Questran is not a substitute
for nitroglycerin. It is used just
to help lower the cholesterol
when it is needed. The
nitroglycerin pills are for im
mediate relief of pain.
However, individuals who
succeed by diet and whatever
means to decrease their body
weight and cholesterol often
have fewer, if any, attacks and
therefore have less or no need
for the nitroglycerin tablets.
Why don’t all doctors
prescribe Questran? A lot do
for the right patients. Again,
the right diet with associated
weight reduction may make it
unnecessary. In other patients
doctors use other medicines
that also lower cholesterol.
Finally, a lot of patients have
quite a bit of gas and digestive
complaints with Questran. This
may cause the patient not to
want to use it. For those who
need it and tolerate it, Questran
is a fine and important
medicine.
For more information on
management after a heart at
tack, write to me in care of this
newspaper, P.O. Box 1551,
Radio City Station, New York,
NY 10019. Send 50 cents and a
long, stamped, self-addressed
envelope, and ask for The
Health Letter number 2-12,
After The Heart Attack.
DEAR DR. LAMB - Please
tell me the correct way to
breathe. I have heard that one
is supposed to “inhale” through
the mouth then “exhale”
through the nose.
DEAR READER — I never
cease to be amazed at the range
of ideas people have about
health. The normal way to
breathe is in and out through
the nose. If you can’t do that
because of nasal obstruction
then you need an examination
of your nose.
It is of some importance to
breathe in through the nose as
opposed to breathing in through
the mouth because the air is
filtered by the fine hair in the
nasal passages. It is also warm
ed that way before it gets to the
lungs.
