DEAR DOCTOR DONOHUE: The flu is just a had cold. True or false? DEAR READER False. In the terrible worldwide flu epidemic of 1918, more than 20 million died. The brief common cold, on the other hand, never lasts long enough or gets serious enough to cause fatality. ★ ★ * HL I B * * * DEAR DOCTOR DONOHUE: I had a siege of sciatica recently, and managed to get over it without medicine. I was told to take warm tub baths, and my doctor prescribed some water exercises. I read so many discouraging comments about sciatica from some of your readers over the years. Maybe my experience will be encouraging. DEAR READER: I’m sure it will. Yes, time and nature often works miracles for sciatica along with limited interventions, such as your baths and exercise. I am sure the warm water relaxed your back muscle spasms, and I’m sure the exercises made those muscles more supple Not all sciatics (sciatic nerve pain) responds so readily to conservative steps. I’m glad yours did. The spine problem booklet discusses related problems.

Q. I am curious about the use of public telephones and the possibility of catching infections from them. I use public telephones a great deal of the time and I’m really amazed that I have never caught a mouth or ear infection from these dirty phones. Would you have any references that I might use in a campaign to clean up these dirty phones? A. Disease-producing bacteria are known as pathogenic germs They rarely stay on telephones for a long time It is exceedingly rare for dis ease to be transmitted in this way Even though the chances of developing infection are slight, I do believe that more attention should be paid to these telephones by a regular service that cleans them and at least gives the user a sense of protection I ve known a number of people who, before using public telephones, will cover the earpiece with a tissue This gives one a sense of cleanliness and may spare those who are anxious about infections from entertaining unnecessary fears I do not know of any specific references in the medical literature that might be used in a campaign to keep all telephones clean C 1995 by King Feature* Synd
