For her many fans, Dr. Ruth's the star. Dr. Ruth said that people who call to talk on her radio show or the television program ask most often about sexual relationships. Women ask about sexual satisfaction and orgasm. Men ask about premature ejaculation, she said. She She planned to attend the festival, tapes, One Woman or Two, is her acting debut. "I thought it was a lot of fun. I never dreamed I would be in a movie and especially with Gerard Depardieu. He is wonderful, she said. "I enjoyed playing a short little lady who speaks French. It was especially nice to play a rich American lady walking down the sidewalk in Paris when I was so poor when ' lived there years ago. added that about the same number of men call as women, even though women are noted for asking for help more easily than men. "People may ask the same questions, but to them, it is a different question because the same problem touches each person in a different way. Has anyone ever asked a question that stumped Dr. Ruth? Sometimes a question may make me giggle, Dr. Ruth admitted. Dr. Ruth studied psychology at the Sorbonne, Pans, and taught kindergarten to support herself. She was born in Germany, attended school in Switzerland and moved to Israel at 16. She immigrated to the United States in 1956. I have to visualize the situation, as any good sex therapist has to do.

Some contact lenses not for all Dear Dr. Solomon: I had been looking forward to getting extended-wea- r contact lenses, but my doctor suggested that they were not for me. A lot of my friends and even my sister and brother use them, so what can be Ms. so bad about my using them? D O., Morganton, N C Dear Ms. O.: The fact that a person may not be a suitable candidate for some kind of treatment or medical procedure does not necessarily mean that there is anytning wrong with the treatment or the procedure. In the particular instance you cite, extended-wear contact lenses are suitable for some people but not for others. Apparently, you fall into the latter category. Dr. Michael Lemp, chairman of ophthalmology at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, DC., notes that these lenses should not be prescribed for individuals with deficient tear production or who tend to suffer from lid infections. Some diabetic patients whose disease is poorly controlled would also not be considered suitable candidates. Our detailed plans make this project a real breeze to e assemble.

Surprising as it may seem, tooth decay and tooth loss actually affect over 95 percent of all men and women. Next to the common cold, it is the most widespread disorder in the United States. By age 15, the average American already has 10 or more decayed, filled or missing teeth. And this gets worse as years go on. cer. I think I must have read about almost a hundred drugs that have been tested and written up in the newspapers, and I would like to know if you have an exact figure. Lance, Springfield, 111. Dear Lance: About 500,000 drugs have been tested for their effectiveness in the treatment of cancer. Of these, 10 are being used with any regularity.

Dear Dr. Solomon: My mother was having some swelling around her ankles, and her doctor told her that it was due to fluid collecting there because she has congestive heart failure Would you please explain what Mrs. congestive heart failure is? G.W., Pittsburgh, Pa. Dear Mrs. W.: In patients with congestive heart failure, the heart is unable to pump the blood as strongly as it should through the vessels and to the various organs, including the kidneys. As a result, excess fluid is not eliminated as fast as it should be and accumulates in the tissues. Dear Dr. Solomon: Almost every day the papers seem to carry stories about a new kind of drug that is being tested for use in the treatment of can lenses; con, Ga. Dear Mrs. S.: A child with an undescended testis should be treated before his second birthday in order to preserve his fertility. For Tom, Clarksburg, W.Va.: Exercise and training can lead to an increase in the size of the heart. The intensity of the training, as well as the age and sex of the athlete, may help determine the outcome. (If you hove a medical question, write to Neil Solomon, M.D., P.O.
