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.

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.
