HEALTH
Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
Arthritics should cut fats
DEAR DR LAMB - Could
you comment on any
relationship between ordinary
garden vegetables and
arthritis? There is a common
opinion among some people
that tomatoes, rhubarb and
other vegetables may worsen
an arthritic condition. Is there
any basis for this belief?
DEAR READER - No
basis whatsoever. Most peo
ple. including those with
arthritis, would be better off
to increase their vegetables
and decrease their intake of
fat and sweets.
To give you more informa
tion on arthritis so you won’t
believe such misinformation I
am sending you The Health
Letter number 4-10,
Osteoarthritis: Degenerative
or Wear and Tear Arthritis.
Others who want this informa
tion can send 50 cents for it
with a long, stamped, self
addressed envelope for mail
ing
DEAR DR LAMB - After
15 months of being told there
was nothing wrong with our
listless inactive daughter we
took her to a medical center
and they found she had an un
deractive thyroid. She had no
teeth, had difficulty sitting up
and, of course, did not walk.
Her bone age was 3 to 6
months. She is on two-and-a
half grains of thyroid and in
four months has lost weight,
has two teeth and is walking.
Recently I read that
hypothyroidism in children is
very serious because it
retards physical and mental
growth I am now ready to
know what would have
happened had we not found out
something was wrong with
our baby. Her body was badly
deformed and now she is just
beautiful. I would appreciate
any information you can give
me
DEAR READER -1 am
glad your little girl is getting
along so well. The thyroid hor
mone does work with the
growth hormone to produce

POLLY'S POINTERS

Greasy makeup stains
take special handling
DEAR POLLY — Face and hand creams have left
greasy stains on my solid color sheets and pillowcases
Has anyone had success in removing such stains? —
ANNE B
DEAR ANNE B. — One authority suggests placing the
stains face down on paper towels and then applying a
dry cleaning solvent to back side of stain, brushing from
the center to the outer edges with a clean white cloth.
Dampen stain with water and rub with BAR soap or
light duty liquid detergent. Rinse and launder.
I have had good luck removing lipstick stains (greasy)
from pillowcases by rubbing petroleum jelly into stains
and then applying liquid detergent. With a light rubbing
stains disappear. Rinse out and then launder as usual. —
POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — I have help for Janis who has grass grow
ing between the bricks in her sidewalk. I have had this
problem for years. First thing in the spring is to put some gas
oline in a small watering can with a spout and dribble it on any
weeds or grass coming up If they are saturated they will not
return or at least not before the next spring. I even go along
the edge of my sidewalk in front of the house where they
overlap the walk. (Polly’s note — Be sure the container has a
small spout so the gasoline only goes where needed and don't
smoke or light matches while doing this.) — MRS. E. F. E.
DEAR POLLY — When shopping for skirts or trousers take
along some small safety pins Pin one inside the front center
waistband of whatever you decide to buy and have no more
worries about whether or not the tag is in the front or back
Modern pins do not rust so can be left in when garments are
washed and the ability to feel a pin is a great help in centering
skirts.
Tired of losing buttons? If so put on that blouse or shirt and
button it most of the way up but leave enough space open so it
can be slipped over the head Then sew the buttons through
both sides of the blouse up just that far and the blouse will look
as if it was intended to be that way.— T.M.

normal physical and mental
development.
Low thyroid function may
be difficult to diagnose in the
early months of life. In fact, it
is rarely recognized at birth.
The diagnosis is even more
difficult if the thyroid
deficiency is not complete.
The doctor may suspect low
thyroid function because the
child is unusually sluggish.
The features of the child may
be changed because of the low
thyroid function. The fat inac
tive baby with little interest in
his surroundings is a result of
the low thyroid hormone
production
The features differ depen
ding on when the thyroid
deficiency occurs. It can
begin in the uterus before the
baby is born.
The retarded growth can be
rather striking. And it is true
that mental development may
be affected It is important to
make a diagnosis as early as
possible to prevent this.
I cannot say whether or not
your child will have a problem
in mental development. It
depends upon too many fac
tors, such as the severity of
the deficiency and when it ac
tually started. If the thyroid
gland was completely non
functioning in the uterus
before birth, even giving
thyroid hormone at birth
might not have altered the
outcome. If the problem
began after birth, then your
baby may develop normally.
Time and good treatment will
tell Meanwhile her develop
ment should continue to be
rapid to make up for lost time
and she will no doubt be active
enough to keep you more than
busy and happy.
