abnormal sperm cells. A

I should remind my read-
ers that the number of
sperm cells often has little to
do with a man’s sex drive or
inclinations He can be nor-
mal in all regards and not be
fertile, so one should not
equate fertility with mascu-
linity whatever masculin-
ity really is, since each cul-
ture seems to have Its own
changing definition of that
term
My best advice would be
for your husband and per-
haps yourself to go to a
fertility clinic for a careful
study, to learn if he can
benefit from a fertility pill or
other recent developments
Each case is different, and
you won't get a good answer
without a good personal
study.

DEAR DR LAMB - in
one of your columns you
described the effects of DES
on male children. My hus-
band is one such case Al-
though he is not completely
sterile his sperm count is
only 4,500,000 We are unable
to conceive. Can this effect
of DES be reversed’ is there
hormonal therapy that can
correct this dysfunction? We
would appreciate your ad-
vice concerning this matter
DEAR READER - DES
idiethylstilbesterol) is a
synthetic substitute for es-
trogen and it was once
widely used to prevent mis-
carriages in women who had
histories of miscarriages or
a threatened abortion The
spotlight has been on its
effect on the daughters of
women who used DES As I
mentioned in my earlier co-
lumn there is evidence that
it may also have affected
some of the sons by affecting
sexual development and
more often affecting sperm
production It is certainly
true that low sperm counts
and infertility can result in a
man whose mother took
DES to preserve her preg-
nancy
However, that does not
prove that this caused your
husband's low sperm count
There are lots of men who
have low sperm counts
whose mothers never went
near DES during pregnancy
The normal count is 60 to 150
million sperm cells per mil-
liliter (there are about 3.3
milliliters per teaspoon).
There are some things
that can be done in selected
cases to improve a man's
fertility which may help in
your husband's case. It is
important to have had an
evaluation to be sure there
are no hormonal deficien-
cies that can be corrected.
Some men have higher
counts when they are placed
on thyroid supplements. Re-
cently there has been some
success reported in using the
fertility pill that women use,
to increase sperm produc-
tion in men. The same hor-
mones from the pituitary
gland that stimulate the
ovary in the woman stimu-
late the testicles in the man
Using this principle the fer-
tility pills were tried and
found to work in some cases

has helped in some cases is

POLLY'S PROBLEM
DEAR POLLY Please tell me how to remove a
spot of glue not sure of the type) from a Tshirt type
of material that is striped and machine washable. -
ILK
DEAR S.L-K. - There are various kinds of glue
and what works on ear does mot always work on
another. Also, some glues are tmpessible to removt
after they have hardened. Usually ordtnary glue
spots can be wash rd la warm suds to dissoive h aad
thro hr washed la fresh warm suds. Briar* plastie
DEAR POLIY - My Pointer is for removing glut from
any surface I had tried gasoline, nail polish remover and
turpentine but finally found the trick to be using kerosene,
patience and a fair amount of rubbing Now I reach for the
kerosene whenever a glued label leave* a coating after it to
removed - RUTH.
DEAR POLLY — and SH - I use old sheets for so many
many things They are great to use for making costumes
for kids to wear on Halloween, for school plays and so on
and can be dyed, decorated with crayon or anything
When cut into squares and hemmed they make excellent
everyday napkins for the family and save the expense at
buying paper ones and helps ecology. too Worn parts of
percale sheets also make soft, easy-on-the-nose hankies
I find old sheets great for making rag dolls, pot holders
or whatever one's imagination suggests I use them for
interfacing collars. lapels, etc on garments I am making
as it to hard to find a better and more practical material
than old sheeting
When my three girls were small I made ruffled, be-
ribboned petticoats for them out of old sheets By the way.
I also made cute ruffle-seated bathing suits for them out of
old terry towels
When the good part is large enough an old sheet can
make a dandy picnic table cover that every one can
autograph when it is being used. Later the autographs can
be embroidered over or traced over with a fabric crayon
for a fun keepsake and conversation piece to be used at
picnics for a long time to come. — ELSIE.
