DR. ANSWERS—

Question: I have an excessive amount of skin on my face which causes the whole face to sag. I am 19 years old and weigh 160 pounds, height five feet six inches. It seems to have become worse since having the mumps. Answer: This is an unusual problem and I frankly do not know what to think about it. If it is not caused by overweight or lack of exercise, any treatment which could be suggested would seem to be of doubtful value. { ” ” ” Question: What are the symptoms of obstruction of | the bowels and what can be | done for it? Answer: Jain in the abdomen, failure to pass waste matter, and vomiting ave the | most common symptoms of | sudden obstruction. In par- | tial or slowly developing ob~ struction, the symptoms may be less definite. In any case, a bowel X-ray is indicated. Surgery is necessary in most forms of obstruction.
