HOfcV&RE i/otiw> i>ay / DR. JAMES W. BARTON T«ll«i About © Teen Age Slimming Although “curves” are back to some extent with a great many thoughtful wom en who put their health ahead of trying to attain a boyish fig ure, it is only too true that many young girls are still de liberately “keeping their weight down.” Now overweight spoils the figure all right, and interferes wilh health Dr. Barton but in the growing or teen age girl weight should not be considered be cause any reduction of the natural in crease in weight that comes at this time doesn’t simply mean a loss of weight, it means an actual loss of health and strength. Statistics show that the fight against tuberculosis is being waged successfully except In one age range—the girl between fifteen and twenty. At this age instead of a decrease in the number of cases of tuberculosis there is an increase and the outstanding cause of this is the attempt to keep down the weight. When it is realized that this is the age at which girls are emerg-; ing or have just emerged from girlhood to womanhood, when the gland changes are transforming the body and mind to meet the demands of motherhood, the seri ousness of loss of weigh' and strength at this time can be readi ly understood. Effects from Dieting. Drs. R. W. B. Ellis and K. H. Tallerman in the Lancet state, “It is not uncommon at the present time to see in girls in their late teens quite serious result? from ‘slimming,’ usually self imposed. The cases are curiously alike. They eat incredibly little, protesting to tal inability to eat more; they take long walks and deny that they ever felt better in their lives. Although they refuse to acknowledge that they are tired, they appear to be completely exhausted, with consid erable emotionalism, slow pulse, and cold hands and feet.” I believe most physicians meet a number of these cases and find the blood thin, the blood pressure low and the resistance at a very low point. Health Rules for Teens A little more food, particularly meat and eggs, and a little more sleep at this particular age will lay the foundation for strength and vitality for the years to come, and make play and work a pleasure instead of a trial. Slimming is certainly not meant for the teen age girl. * * * / I Eye Trouble Result of Reducing Notwithstanding the apparently safe use of dinitrophenol in reduc ing weight recorded by the San Francisco research physicians, re ports are coming in from various cities of the formation of cataracts in patients, the only cause of which is believed to be the use o' dini trophenol. Some weeks ago the Journal of the American Medical Association reported cases from Boston, Balti more, Chicago, and Grand Rapids, Mich. Drs. David G., and Frances C. Cogan, Boston, report a case of a 38 year old Scotsman admitted to the Massachusetts Eye and Ear in firmary with cataract of both eyes, with vision reduced to the counting of fingers at a distance of two feet. Both cataracts were re moved by operation. The second case was a woman of twenty-five, admitted to the Johns Hopkins hos pital, Baltimore, with cataract in one eye after the use of dini trophenol for one month. Cases of Cataracts Dr. N. K. Lazar, Chicago, re ports the cases of two women, one forty-four years old and the other forty-two, both afflicted with cata racts due to the use of dinitrophe nol in reducing weight. Now al though this is an age when cata ract might occur anyway, the short time in which they grew left no doubt as to the cause. Dr. Paul W. Kniskern, Grand Rapids, reports a case of a woman aged thirty-seven who took dini trophenol for nearly a year ana de veloped cataracts in >oth eyes. Drs. T. D. Allen and V. M. Ben son, Chicago, report a case of a woman aged thirty-eight rt'ho com plained of a clouding of the eyes which had come on quite suddenly about three weeks before. She had taken dinitrophenol for a number of months, but the cataracts did not occur until nine months after she had stopped using the drug. I am recording the above cases because there may be a number who have used dinitrophenol and when blurring or other disturbance of vision occurs a long time after wards, never think of the dinitro pheno1 as being the cause. <£)—WNU Service. »
