‘Reducing With Ease’ Declared a Myth by Medical Authorities Leading* Physicians Scorn Trick Dieting, Warn Against Danger to Health; Women Seek Professional Recognition.

Mu tJniirA Preit KANSAS CITY. Mo., May 12 There’s no royal road to reducing, ladiea—you have to have the will power to cut down on all those fatproducing foods you like so well. That's the statement of Dr. James S. McLester, Birmingham, American Medical Association president, in convention here. ‘ There’* no easy short cut to getting rid of excess weight,” he said. “It takes will power. ‘ Freak reducing diets are dangerous. You should eat three well balanced meals a day but cut down on the quantity—especially fats.” Warns Against Drug At the same time the association’! council on pharmacy warned against the use of a drug in reducing—dinitrophenol—which the council .said could cause “irreparable harm.” Bit Dr. McLester was more interested in the energy building aspect of eating than in reducing. “There are too many diet fads,” he said. “We should go back to the simple, balanced meals of a generation ago. A diet does not need to be fancy. “Common sense should govern our selection of wholesome foods. Eat meat, vegetables, and milk.” Light breakfasts of coffee and toast and luncheons consisting of a wisp of lettuce and a soft drink he dismissed with scorn. Youth Should Eat More “There are not many of us who eat too much,” he said. “Many of us. particularly young and active persons, should eat more.” Don't eat, however, when you are upset emotionally. “The state of our emotions influence our digestion,” he said. "We should not be depressed or excited. Our digestion is much better if we are relaxed.” Dr. McLester studied the effect on health of the depression. “It seems rather surprising,” he said, “but the average health did not appear to suffer. “Few suffered from malnutrition. ’

Women still have much work to do before they achieve the place in the medical profession which they demand, Dr. Mabel E. Gardner, Cincinnati, said at a round table discussion of the Medical Women’s National Association. Women pediatricians have been accepted wholeheartedly and in research they have gone to the top, but certain medical societies still close the door to them, she said. “In surgery it is different,” Dr. Gardner said. “Women in this field have done fairly well, but their accomplishments came after a lot of hard elbowing. The obstetrical arid gynecological organizations, in which women have paramount interest, also are closed to us.” Dr. Catherine MacFarlane, Philadelphia, was named president-elect of the organization.
