Enlarged Breasts In Males

_ By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. i • CHANGE in the size of the ‘ breasts has been a popular topic ( in magazines and advertising 1 aimed at the female sex. 1 However, there is a large group interested in this subject „ who are being ignored. Strange as it h may seem, men’s. breasts may 1 enlarge, often to a fairly great ' size It may occur in only one breast or It may Occur in both. When both breasts are enlarged, , some hormone disorder is Usu- • ally to blame, a common cause : being some form of growth afr ■ fecting the male sex glands. However, a Chronic cystic disease of the breasts can also cause an enlargement. | Causes Vary In a man who suffers from a nutritional or liver disease, both breasts are often greater in size. This is because the liver has ' some control over the female and f : male hormone output Breast enlargement is also oommoh In those having strokes or disorders of the adrenal glands. Treatment with preparations such as cortisone may also cause r an enlargement of the breasts in a male. However, there are certain eases where no cause for the enlargement can be found. ' t It is believed by some that if the

will be a candidate for an unprecendented third term as governor of Ohio. His nomination is assured on the Democrat ticket. The Ohio governor is one of the ‘most able chief executives in the eountry and has his state in excellent financial condition. He is /flow serving his fourth term and surprised the people with an early announcement that he would seek re-election in 1954. He could go on (|n 1956 and win the Democrat <-• nomination for president. 0 o—— 1 Mississippi will try to put its Jfegro schools on a par with those for whitefe. Goy. Hugh White has called a special session of the legislature for this purpose. The governor adds that the state has dodged the problem of equal , Schools for years, and that if the legislators do so again, "they will . regret it.” This probably refers to the plea to abolish segregation that is now being considered by the Supreme Court, a plea which , would gain strength if the South took .no steps to remedy just grievances. To do all that is- required, will, it is estimated, cosb 'ln the next 20 This is a good deal for any state, •L §0 ans especially Mississippi, which is far from rich. I■ I —' . \ Andrei Vishinpky, Russian delegate to the t*nited Nations, answered the evidence of Com- » tnunist atrocities in Korea with counter charges that American troops also committed atrocities. Vighinski has a fertile imagination. He describes American torture of captured Reds and mentioned death by boiling water and flame-throwers on the list of horrible crimes Americans committed. This is such an obvious lie that it fools no one. Several times during the fighting the UN offered neutral observers the opportunity to visit prisoner of war camps. The Communists never dared to make such an offer. Vighinsky’s ability to manipulate the truth should surprise no'one. As a prosecutor during Russian purges he won the gratitude and favor of Stalin. His attacks on the defendants, yhich are a matter of public record, were venomous, land ruthless. | i, 9 Furniture Bruises J Soak a piece of blotting paper I in warm water.

male breasts were given medical examination as often and as carefully as female breasts, male enlargement would actually prove to be more common. If only one breast is enlarged tn a man, the existence of some form of tumor is suspected in most cases. Tumors and cancer of the breast can develop. Surgery and Hormones Used Many times, for appearance sake, plastic surgery must be performed to correct the size of the breasts. Often, however, the enlargement can be controlled by giving male hormone in fairly large dosages. i If no definite cause can be found, many cases of enlargement of the breasts will disappear with time, even if no treatment is utilized. L , However, in each case, the physician will determine what treatment, if any, is required, and these conditions should not bo thought unimportant. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. O. D.: I have heard that there is a plastic that can be painted on the teeth to prevent decay. Is this true? Answer: There is no such plastic available at the present time. However, sodium fluoride ean be applied by a dentist to children’s teeth to help prevent decay.

Her cousin Kit and Hugo Cavanaugh, an attorney. . once devoted to Kit but now Libbyia swain, Start out to find , the m I ea I 0 s <<rL They visit the meagre New York ment of Tony Wilder a classically handsome young man of whom Libby had become enamoured. But To n v like Libby.

Strait said. "Oh?” on a note of surprise. “He should have come to me at once. You should both have come to me. After you left this man Wilder’s?” Kit described Eleanor Oaks and Samuel Pedrick and the yellow convertible, and what had happened in the house the nigtyt before. The kettle interested Mr. Strait and the kettle worried him but with the dry precision of the legal mind he refused to be overly impressed by a yellow convertible’s having been parked near the orchard gates t 3 o’clock that morning. “We don’t know it was Miss Oaks’ car or that she was the woman tn it, or that Pedrick was in it at all." As for Tony Wilder’s having vanished from his apartment on Monday afternoon and Libby’s disappearance on Monday night, there need be no connection. Wilder was most certainly running away from his creditors. “We’ll look these people up. of Course, and we’U try and get hold of Wilder.A They didn't have to try. Less than. a quarter of an hour later the front doorbell rang. Kit opened the door and stared into Tony Wilder’s face. I He stood there confronting her very much as she remembered him on the night of Daisy’s party, big and composed and exceptionally well dressed. They looked at .each other in perfect alienee for a moment. Then Kit said: “Come in, Mr. Wilder.” Wilder removed his hat, baring his handsome head and Stepped in. His handsome face was calm. He wanted Libby. Ha was composed about it and firm. “I've called half a doaen times. Miss Haven, and nave been put oft. 1 love your cousin. I've asked

her to marry me, and I’m hoping—” * He didn’t raise hla voice, but It was evidently audible in the livingroom. Philip came charging tnto the hall. K . \ "Where’s my ftiece?” he demanded furiously, walking up to Wilder. “Where 18 she? You’ve taken\ her away. This is a holdup.” He grabbed the lapels of Wilder’s topcoat. Wilder pushed him back gently, held him off and turned to Kit. "Would you mind telling me what this is all about, Miss Haven ?” Mr.. Strait took charge then, suavely. He said that Miss Tallis wasn’t In the house, that she had been gone some days and that her cousin and her uncle were very naturally worried about her. The large eyes opened a little. “You don’t know where Libby is?” Mr. Strait shook his head. “We haven’t the slightest idea.” Philip growled softly in his throat at the use of Libby’s first name. But his brain was beginning to function. They went into the living-room and sat down. Philip witched every move Wilder made, so did Kit. Sculptured marble doesn’t change color, or shape, is not Susceptible to emotion of any kind, she thought. He asked when exactly, they had first missed Libby. Mr. Strait countered with: "Will you tell us where you have been since early Monday afternoon, Mr. Wilder? We tried to contact you at your apartment In New York. You left there on Monday, 1 believe. If you know nothing of Miss Tallis’ whereabouts, you won’t naturally, have any objection to telling us.” Marble could flush. Wilder’s head went up haughtily. "My movements are scarcely in question. 1 see no reason why—’-’ Mr. Strait broke him down nicely. When Wilder found out that they knew about the collector from the credit agency who had parked on his doorstep, he recovered his composure. He remarked that it was merely a temporary emergency.* He had foolishly gone overboard for a friend and was waiting for repayment so that he could discharge his own debts. But those loan sharks could be a nuisance so he had shifted his quarters for the time being. He had taken a room In the Hotel Bronson on Monday afternoon, and had been living at* the Bronson since. He had talked to Libby over the phone on Monday, telling her his phone number. He had asked her to have lunch with him in town on Tuesday, but she said she couldn’t as her uncle was coming home from Mexico, but that she would ring him on Wednesday. He had waited in vain all Wednesday and Wednesday night Libby didn’t call, so he bad called here repeatedly and each time had been told she wasn’t at home. That was why he had come. The man was a mass of affectation, with an essentially simple core. It was vanity. He was Adonis, the beautiful one, whose every word, every gesture, had to be perfect—he probably played the part even when he was alone. To Kit’s surprise, Mr. Strait didn’t ask Wilder anything about Eleanor Oaks or the yellow con-

vertible. Instead he offered Wilder a lift back to New York. Miss Haven would keep him informed, let him know as soon as they heard from Miss Tallis. \ The two men left, but not before Mr. Strait made a long-distance Call to his office from Philip’s study, with the door closed. A par was to pick them up at the city line and trail Wilder, a man was to go to the Hotel Bronson and make inquiries there. The lawyer gave Kit parting instructions to do nothing without consulting him and advised a doctor for Philip. “Your uncle Is pretty well shattered And don’t worry too much, Miss Haven. I’m sure everything will be all right The thing to do is not to. lose your nerve." Hugo came shortly after Mr. Strait drove off with Tony Wilder. He was stunned when he heard what had happened, and saw the white doeskin glove and the tissue. Philip refused to have Dr. Terry, and shut himself in his own room. They could hear him walking the floor. Hugo talked to Kit. He said: “Your uncie Inherits a large sum Os money and someone sits down and tries to figure how he can get some of it This seemed to be the best way. 1 Your uncle would do anything for Libby, and money \ means nothing to him—and he's not the man to haggle or ask too many questions.” "You think there’ll be a demand for money?” "I’m sure there will- It looks as though this whole business was planned by someone who knew what was going on in this house, someone who knew for instance, that your uncle was coming home from Mexico on Tuesday. It would have been more difficult to get hold of her when he was here. That narrows the field a bit. Libby could have told friends, so could Miriam VanKreef. Your aunt took the telegram over the phone." Friends. Anita was a friend; Kit shivered. No, never. The idea of either. William or Miriam was equally absurd. Pedrick and Eleanor Oaks? They could not have known anything about Philip’s decision to return. He had been going to stay on another two weeks, had changed his mind suddenly. The telephone rang and Kit and Hugo both started for it. Philip got there first They leaned close to him —and heard it, a hissing, sound that was at meaningless. Philip said into the mouthpiece: “What is it? Speak up. Speak up.” The hissing sound was a whispering voice, sexless, inhuman. It went on and on. It told Philip tc pay attention or they wouldn’t get anywhere. It .said that it had Libby and that Philip could have hei back for $25,000. It said It had sent the tissue and the glove, but that if Philip was in any doubt it would send something else. It went on to say tn detail, lowering itself So that Kit and Hugo heard only in bits; what it would do if Phjlip got in- touch with the police. It said that further instructions would be sent to Philip shortly about the payment of the $25,000, and repeated its warning about going tc Che police. Then it stopped. (To Be Continued)
