Mortality from alcoholism

•y T.R. Vm Delta, M.D. (C> l»74TVCJitc*f« Tribmr Although alcohol is not always thought of or regulated as a drug, it is the moat widely used and abused drug in the United States. According; to some authorities, there are nine million problem drinkers in our country, and, each year, 100,000 people Join their ranks Mortality from alcoholism is difficult to estimate because disorders related directly or indierctly to alcoholism are not always listed on death certificates. Physicians hesitate citing any form of alcoholism

as cause of death when they 'Tin list another disorder or complication. For example, only one-third of the deaths attributed to cirrhosis of the liver are listed as alcoholrelated. Obviously an error. Criticism is sometimes leveld at the attending physician for hiding this fact, but many physicians feel that families of alcoholics have suffered enough. Half (about $5,000) of the nation's traffic fatalities are alcohol-related. But since blood, urine and breath tests are not routine, these are not

mentioned. Alcohol is also involved in half the homicides and one-third of the suicides. Chronic alcoholism leads to progressive physical and mental deterioration. Minutes after ingestion, the small ethyl alcohol molecules are absorbed into every organ and cell of the body. No other drug works as quickly. Through sophisticated tests, we know that alcohol adversely affects the liver, pancreas, heart, brin cells, blood and other structures. Ten years of heavy drinking can cause a disease known as alcoholic

match between Italy and Great Britain. The irrepressible Boris Schapiro, with an eye on the vulnerability, overcalled the Italian South's diamond bid with a spade on three to the ten. It is hard to criticize this whimsy, since it proved highly successful when the Italian pair — Chiaradia and Forquet — stopped at two spades, making four. Regardless of how, why or where the Italians went wrong, there is not the shadow of a doubt that the psychic was effective. There must have been something irresistible about bidding

North-South pair smoked out the psychic and got to four spades despite Belladonna's three spade bid. They would have made four spades for 620 points, but Avarelli decided to sacrifice at five diamonds, which was doubled. Five diamonds went down four — 700 points — which was only a slight loss to par, but, in conjunction with what had occurred at the previous table, the Italian team lost 530 points

on the deal

So Britain clearly won the battle of the psychics

cardiomyopathy. Social, personal and occupational problems related to alcohol create more pain and suffering to the spouse and family than the physical and mental ailments suffered by the drinker. If you or someone in your family has a drinking problem, keep in mind that alcoholism is treatable when diagnosed in its early stages. Infected Parrots B. writes: Is there any cure for psittacosis or parrot fever, a condition caused by birds? Reply Yes, the antibiotics. Retina and Hypertension A reader writers: Can high blood pressure have an adverse effect on the eyesight? Reply Yes it can. High blood pressure encourages hardening of the arteries and the retinal vessels frequently are involved. Whites are Blue K. K. Writes: TTie whites of nfiy two-year-old granddaughters’s eyes are blue. Is this due to poor blood? Reply Not necessarily. Osteogenic imperfecta, a condition in which the whites of the eyes are blue, also causes deafness, looseness of the joints and brittle bones. ToulouseLautrec, the French painter, was thought to have this malady. May I suggest that your daughter or daughter-in-iaw take her to an eye specialist? Shingles E.A. writes: D oes shingles around the waist last six weeks’’ Reply Yes- give or take a few weeks. Some older shingles victims are left with a residual neuralgia that last for many months.

N5RVOUS ABOUT THE OUTCOME OF TOMORROW S EwfeOTlON CWI6F?

WHY SHOUL.D 1 BE NERVOUS THE VOTERS HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT MY PAST RECORD.'

HOW YOU FIX6D FOR TRANQUILIZERS ?

Nora and all you workers under age 65, have your pay checks sabotaged whenever politicians pass more boondoggling laws! So use the 5-point yardstick below to elect statesman vs. selfish politicians! CASE B-685: Nora B., aged 19. is a smiling waitress. Dr. Crane,'' she began, “I gei co vote this year, for the first time in my life. "So I am thrilled, but also nervous! "For I don't know a single candidate personally, though I have read some of their campaign circulars. "How do vou and Mrs. Caane decide whom to vote for?" HOW TO VOTE We follow this anti-in-flation maxim: "More business in government; less government in business.” Here's another, as uttered b\ former newspaper publisher Frank Gannett; "In our Republic, the government should fear the people: not the people, the government!" Our Founding Fathers opposed letting Uncle Sam compete with us taxpaying citizens, both in business, philanthropy and the professions. He was to be merely the tmpattial umpire or referee, standing on the sidelines of our "Free Enterprise" playing field. But he was definitely NOT to rush out upon that field to compete with the "Free Enterprise" players, whether they be churches, banks, oil companies, farms, retail stores, dot tors or editors! in 1940. our entire federal appropriation (paid for by our taxes) was less than $14 billion. Big Brother" bureaucrats now demand $304 billion for the current budget! Other things being equal, Mis. Crane and I follow this plan: (I) Support candidates who vote to LOWER taxes, instead of raising them via inflationary boosts in spending to boondoggle for votes of the welfare and AIK! groups in the targe cities. Even the 11% jump in Social Security this election year was a bribe to gain the votes of those above the age of 65. For a similar reduction in

the federal budget would have let the Senior Citizens have as much purchasing power even with their former monthly Social Security checks! And by thus LOWERING taxes, inflation would have been stopped! (2) Pick candidates who have had practical experience in operating farms, retail stores, newspapers, doctors’ offices and other private businesses where they PAY taxes instead of getting salaries from the taxpayers. In short, beware of the taxeaters vs. the taxpayers, for the Post Office vs. the taxpaying United Parcel Service illustrates this point! Tax-eaters are those who don't produce goods or services out in the private sector of our economy! Nora, as a waitress is thus a producer, for she isn't on a county, state or federal payroll! (3) Favor the younger candidates vs. those lifelong politicians who have already held their jobs 12 years or morel Some members of Congress have clung to their positions for over 40 years, and thus have developed machines that prevent able younger men from winning. (4) Beware of electing too many lawyers, for we need far more business executives who have been furnishing jobs, meeting payrolls and actually producing new products instead of writing new legislation for the ego inflation of getting their names on such bills. Politicians then pass these unwise bills to win the present election; then 2 yeats later must pass contrary laws, as in the busing - antibusing fiasco, as well as the thoughtless ecology laws that are hampering private employment! (5) Beware of letting handsome young men with sexual charisma delude you, for if they pass unwise boondoggling bills, you will pay through the nose via higher taxes, as for National Health, costing$77 billion in new taxes!
