Mf UCSTER Lb COLEMAN, M.D. — Readers Are Asking .
WHY ARE cultures and smears taken from the throat! and from the noae? The hiring at the mouth, nose and throat during health is covered by a wide variety of germs, viruses and fungi. They seem to live contentedly together and, in fact, keep their respectful distances from each other. It would be surprising to many | people to realj ize that some [really active bacteria are 1 thriving while they are at the peak of health. When the body's resistance is lowered these bacteria break through the barrier end start to invade the underlying tissues causing inflammation and infection responsible for the state of “illness.” By past experience the psysician can frequently decide by the character of the infection what the nature of the offending germ is. The so-called broad spectrum antibiotic Is usually effective against moat germs. Occasionally, the infection fails to respond to the chosen drug. At this time, a smear taken from the nose, throat or pharynx is sent to the laboratory and placed in an incubator In order to allow the germs to flourish. Under a microscope the exact germ can be identified. An additional test Is than mada to fled Urn particular antibiotic or sulfa drug that will most quickly destroy that particular germ. Viruses are not found in this rather simple way. The smear test placed directly .under • sdcroseope can often reveal the prseence of certain cells (eodaopMles) that indicate the pnemoe of ad active allergy. Malignant cells aometimtm renal themselves by this techaiqoe. ^ ^
taken from all other parts of the body and are exceedingly valuable as aids in the diagnosis of disease. • • e How serious is bleeding from the rectum? Persistent bleeding is only serious when it is neglected. Without question, the most frequent cause of rectal bleeding is some form of hemorrhoids. It is surprising to physicians that despite all educational campaigns some people still delay in coming to them for fear that their rectal bleeding is “serious.” It may be, but more likely is not. The agony of fear lasts many months after the patient has been reassured that the problem is a simple one. Also, many people delay in seeking advice thinking that surgery is always necessary. They fall prey to expensive “magical” remedies made by those who, for years, have exploited the frightened and the fearful. Excellent methods, are available to pinpoint the reason for bleeding. Dietary regimes, careful hygiene, sitz baths, prescribed medicated suppositories and the readjustment of bowel habits can alleviate the bleeding caused by hemorrhoids. It is only when local treatment is not effective that surgery is necessary. For emphasis, bleeding is an important sign that must be respected. • • • SPEAKING OF TOUR HEALTH—Most cities have a Doctor's Emergency Service If your own doctor is not available In an emergency. Dr. Coleman welcomes letters from readers, and, while he cannot undertake to answer each one, he will use questions in his column whenever possible and when they are of general interest.

favor Lowering Age for Voters INDIANAPOLIS UPI — A resolution favoring reduction of the voting age limit from 21 to 18 was adopted Saturday at the first annual Indiana Teen-Age Republican conference here. Republican State Chairman Charles O. Hendricks applauded the resolution bat said it stood no chance of success in the 1967 Legislature if it is controlled by Democrats. More than 250 teen-agers attended the session and adopted the resolution in protest of a 1965 section of the Indiana Election Law which prohibits students attending colleges and universities within the state to vote by absentee ballot. It does not affect students attending out-of-state schools. Both parties have promised to remove the restriction next year. Hendricks chided Democrats, saying they “showed what they think of young people when they made it impossible for college students to vote by absentee ballot while attending school.”
