HEALTH

Lawrence E. Lamb,M.D.

Boycott coffee for health

DEAR DR. LAMB — I was
attracted to your column on
coffee and its effect on the

-human body. For several

years I had the symptoms you
mentioned. I did not know the
cause of my problem.

I felt nervous, nauseated
and was in very poor health.
In fact, I went through the
Mayo Clinic and Scripps
Clinie without finding out my
problem. I was on Valium
when J read your column,

I quit coffee six years ago
and feel like a new person
although I am 69 years old.
Had I not read your column I
know [ would never have
reached age 69. Could you
send me a copy of The Health
Letter on coffee nerves?

DEAR READER — I am
glad that stopping coffee has
enabled you to feel so much
better. You might have lived
anyway but enjoyed it less.

The caffeine in coffee and in
other drinks is a stimulant to
the nervous system. You
might call it a “liquid go pill,”
Certainly anyone who needs a
tranquilizer should not be
drinking coffee, tea or colas.

No, Tam not surprised that
you were seen in two good
clinics and the possibility that
coffee was causing you trou-
ble was ignored, When I was
professor of medicine at
Baylor College of Medicine in
Houston, I saw many cases in
the clinic of patients who had
burning in the pit of the
stomach and indigestion with

a similar problem. Often X
rays of the stomach and gall
bladder would be normal and
the patient would be given
tranquilizers. No one bothered
to find out the patient was
drinking from six to 12 cups of
coffee a day. So, the patient
went home and washed down
the tranquilizers with cups of
liquid go pills — coffee.

Simply taking away the .

coffee and throwing away the
tranquilizers did wonders for
many of these people. Stop-
ping coffee and other caffeine
containing drinks would do
wonders for our overwrought,
anxious society.

I am sending you The
Health Letter number 1-1,
Coffee, Tea, Cola, Cocoa, that
you requested. Others who
want this information can
send 50 cents for it with a
long, stamped, self-addressed
envelope for mailing: Just
iwrite to me in care of this
newspaper, P.O, Box 1551,
Radio City Station, New York,
NY 10019,

Hearts Also Come
In Economy Size

By Abigail Van Buren

©1977 by The Chicago Tribune-N.Y.News Synd. ine.

_, DEAR ABBY: My husband (I'll call him “John”) took out
a life insurance policy 15 years ago. The agent hesitated

_ selling him a policy because John is 6 foot 9, Tha agent said

“extra tall” people have a shorter life expectancy because
they usually develop heart problems. He explained that
the heart has to work much harder pumping the blood in a
very tall person than in a person of average size,

I believe Mother Nature compensates by givin the
extra large man a heart large enough to handle the job, but
John beliaves the agent, and he keeps insisting he'll never
gee 55, (He's 45 now.) Both John’s parents are alive and in

r) .

Anything you can find out about this will be greatly

ciated. -
appre JOHN'S WIFE

DEAR WIFE: My heart expert says, “Iam not aware of
any documented evidence supporting the theory that the
heart works harder in extra tall people; certainly it doesn't
in giraffes and in professional basketball players. John
would do better to listen to a competent cardiologist than
to the insurance agent.”

DEAR ABBY: I am a widow who recently married a
widower, He keeps talking about his first wife. What
should I do? .

HAD IT

DEAR HAD IT: Keep talking about your next husband.

DEAR ABBY: I workin an office, and every time there is
a collection to be taken up to buy a coworker a gift, thia ona
woman always does the collecting and buying. Recently
she bought our supervisor a purse. She said it cost $21. I
like the purse very much and went to the store to buy one
for myself. There, I found it was marked $16.98, so 1 asked
the manager if the purse had been marked down. He
assured me it- had not, and he said they never had one even
similar at any other price. :

In checking the price on a few other items, I found that
this woman had ripped us off when buying seme other
gifts. I told several coworkers, but no one wants tc

_ mention it to her, and I don’t either.

Next time a collection is: made, how should this be
handled? ,
_ RIPPEDOFF |

DEAR RIPPED: Why wait until “next time”? Since you
are the one who uncovered this petty chizeling, tet the
chiseler know what you learned. You needn't apologize
when calling a crook a crook,

CONFIDENTIAL TO “FATSO IN MEMPHIS": Try
putting your bathroom scale in front of your refrigerator.

Spinach no longer heads
the list of vegetables hated
most by kids, The Depart-
ment of Agriculture has sur-

asparagus, brussels sprouts,
beets, squash, broccoli, and
cauliflower.
