DEAR DR. LAMB — The
other day I went with a
friend to the west side of the
island to see a friend of his
who is a fisherman. He lives
• in a tent on the beach. While
seated and talking with this
fisherman, I noticed that
both of his feet were swollen.
I asked him, “What hap-
pened to your feet?” He said
that it had been going on for
quite some time. There is no
pain, the swelling only hap-
pens during the day and
disappears at night. Now
what makes this swelling
and the disappearing act?
DEAR READER - Swell-
ing of the feet and ankles is a
symptom. It can be caused
by many different diseases
but, of course, it means the
accumulation of fluid.

Health Letter number 11-6,
Swelling: Causes and Man-
agement. Other readers who
want this information can
send 50 cents with a long,
Stamped, self-addressed en-
velope for it. Address your
request to me in care of this
newspaper, P.O. Box 1551,
Radio City Station, New
York, NY 10019. This issue
will discuss with you the
different mechanisms that
cause swelling and, in more
detail, why the swelling de-
velops during the day and
disappears at night.
Briefly, fluid tends to “run
downhill.” When you have
excess fluid in the body, and
you are sitting upright, or
standing upright, it accumu-
lates in the feet first. The
more fluid you have, the
more swelling occurs and
the higher up the leg it will
extend.
When you lie down at
night, so that the feet are at
the same level of the heart,
the fluid runs out of the feet
and back into the rest of the
circulation.
That is why swelling from
most medical causes tends
to occur during the dny, gets
worse as the day progresses
and tends to decrease or
may even disappear at night
when you are lying down.
You could also get rid of it
duiing the day if you were
lying down the whole time.
The occurrence and disap-
pearance of swelling in this
fashion does not establish
hospitals

can be caused by heart dis-
ease, liver disease, varicose
veins, kidney disease or a
number of other medical
problems.
DEAR DR. LAMB — I
have been using nose spray
for almost a year now. I
can’t go without it. It seems
that I need it even more
when I am in the company of
other people. I know of sev-
eral other people who are
just like me. I don’t step out
of the house without it. I
don’t want to damage my
nose tissue and wonder if I
am doing so. I am 24 years
old. My father also uses it.
Could this be hereditary?
DEAR READER — You
have developed a bad habit.
Many of the nasal sprays are
useful for temporary relief.
The medicines in them
shrink the swollen mem-
branes in the nasal passage
so that one can breathe
easier. Unfortunately, when
the medicine wears off,
these tissues often have re-
bound swelling, causing the
air passages to be blocked
again.
If a person uses nasal
sprays too often, he will
have a constant shrinkage
and rebound reaction. This
can result in chemical irrita-
tion and the person literally
becomes hooked on nasal
spray. It’s not that these are
addicting but you just can’t
get relief from blockage of
the nasal passage by always
resorting to the nasal spray.
Region 8 Directors will meet
at 6:30 p.m. today in Mount
Pleasant at K-Bobs Restaurant

Mrs. Duke McKinney has

where she has been spending a
few days with her new grand-
son, Alec Stuart Tatum and his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mark E.
Tatum. The baby was born

DEAR DR. BLAKER —
You probably receive many
letters from women whose
marriages are in trouble
because they started
careers. Well, my marriage
is troubled and my painting
is causing the tension.
My husband is president of
a large Midwest corpora-
tion. For 15 years, I faith-
fully performed all the ex-
pected wifely duties, includ-
ing frequent entertaining
and chairing the Corporate
Wives Group. The purpose of
the group was — and still is,
for all I know — helping
wives to be better help-
mates to their upward-
bound husbands.
Then I decided to do some-
thing different. I started tak-
ing painting classes to renew
my long-dormant wish to
become an artist. Everyone
was appropriately patient
with my “hobby,” as they
called it.
But last year, I really
started to get involved in my
new career. That meant I
had to refuse some of my
usual duties — not because I
loved my husband less but
because I was beginning to
love myself more.
I know he is very upset. He

feels betrayed. Even my
women friends are shocked
by my lack of “loyalty.” I
need a few words of support.
DEAR READER — I can
give you more than a few
words. I can offer you my
total support. And when you
get more involved in your
painting career, you will no
doubt find other women who
understand and admire your
move toward personhood.
The inequity of the wife’s
longstanding role as help-
mate received national at-
tention recently when Ann
Cox Chambers was ap-
pointed ambassador to Bel-
gium. Her husband did not
want to — nor was he ex-
pected to — take over the
usual tasks of an ambassa-
dor’s wife.
Uncertain about how to
handle the matter, the State
Department paid one of Mrs.
Chambers’ female friends
$26,922 to handle the same
duties that diplomats’ wives
have traditionally per-
formed free.
Secretary of State Cyrus
Vance, recognizing the un-
fairness of the system, rec-
ommended a major study on
the feasibility of compensat-
ing spouses for their work.
As you know, this inequity
is perpetuated in business as
well as government.
Never being one to wait
for the results — much less
the implementation — of
government studies, I sug-
gest that women tackle the
problem themselves by re-
fusing en masse the help-
mate role.
When more role models
like you have forged their
own lives with dedication
and diplomacy, men may
take note and even brag

about their “self-actual- >.
ized” wives. And those who >
force their wives to remain
extensions of themselves
will be considered weak and
needy. T
Impossible? Unlikely? I
don’t think so. But I have
been accused of being an
eternal optimist.
P.S. Don’t forget to invite
me to the opening of your
first show of paintings in
New York City.
