DEARBORN STREET CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60610 About Medicine and grapefruit do not cause "acidity" "acid-ity" of the body. Tat people are not necessarily carefree and jolly. Being fat and 40 and feeling well does not constitute a good reason for declining to lose weight. American medical tradition stems from an age very different from the one in which we now live, points out TODAY'S HEALTH GUIDE, the American Medical Association's manual of health information for the American Ameri-can family. The early settlers, living remote re-mote from civilization, turned to the traditions of their ancestral homelands and to the methods of the Indians, and came up with a medical lore all their own. Their ideas of prevention and treatment were not all wrong, but often they did more harm than good. Some of the common misconceptions misconcep-tions of the frontier era have carried car-ried over into modern times. TODAY'S HEALTH GUIDE lists the facts about some of these misconceptions Blood pressure of 100 plus the individual's age is not the normal value: Red meats and alcohol are not necessarily harmful to those with high blood pressure. Fish is not a brain food, it is simply a good food for all parts af the body. Sweets, while possibly detrimental detri-mental to the teeth, are not the sole cause of tooth decay. There is no reason of health Why one should not eat shellfish and ice cream at the same meal, provided neither of them is spoiled. Lemons, oranges, tomatoes It is not necessarily unwise to drink water with your meals, if you don't gulp it. Gargles and mouthwashes da not kill the germs in the mouth or throat. Boils are not due to impure blood. Punctures from rusty nails are no more dangerous than punctures punc-tures from shiny nails; the danger lies in the germs that either one may introduce. Night air is not unhealthful, However, it is not necessary to open the windows of your bedroom bed-room wide at night, especially when it is cold. Whiskey with aspirin is not a good remedy for a cold. The cold might improve in spite of it. HOME FOR SALE Four-bedrooms, Four-bedrooms, 2 baths, wall to wall carpeting. 55 North 300 West Street.
