February, 1950 The Health Bulletin sugar, alcohol and tobacco are to be avoided by persons who become tired too easily before meals and in the morning, according to Dr. Sidney A. Portis of the College of Medicine of the University of Illinois. The role played by a good breakfast in preventing fatigue was pointed out by Dr. Portis in a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association. "Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the importance of a good wholesome breakfast," Dr. Portis said. "Too many people rush to their occupations without being fortified with needed calories to do the day's work. This is especially true of women." Avoidance of candy, cakes, pies, tobacco, alcoholic and carbonated beverages, fatty meats and fried foods also was stressed. The study included 929 patients with chronic fatigue. Those treated by regulation of diet, psychotherapy and administration of atropine sulfate were returned to "near normal status," Dr. Portis said. Prolonged or temporary stimulation processes may result in excessive secretion of insulin, he reported. This condition produces a relative deficiency of sugar in the blood. Injection of atropine sulfate prevents excessive secretion of insulin from this stimulation and allows the blood sugar to return to near normal. * * * * DOCTOR LISTS 'TEN COMMANDMENTS' FOR INSOMNIA SUFFERERS It's just as easy to get in on the wrong side of the bed as to get out that way, according to Dr. Paul H. Fluck of Lambertville, N. J. Except in cases due to outright physical or nervous disease, most insomnia is caused by bad sleeping habits or by upsetting the regular routine at bedtime, he says in Today's Health, magazine for the public published by the American Medical Association. Dr. Fluck advises the following "ten commandments for good sleeping." 1. Go to bed at the same hour every night. 2. Try to get at least one hour of sleep before midnight. 3. Drink no more than a glass of milk or eat no more than a small bowl of cereal before retiring. 4. Never eat or drink ice cold foods before retiring. Ice cream is the worst kind of midnight snack. 5. Never listen to the radio in bed. 6. Never, positively never, read in bed. 7. Provide a regular schedule for the hobby, dog or wife or husband who interferes with your rest. 8. When you go to bed, close your eyes and go to sleep. 9. If that doesn't happen, try to remember what position you awake in the next morning. Then take that position when you go to bed that night. 10. Relax every nerve, muscle and thought. Patience won't kill you; sleeping pills may. * * * * FIND CRITICISM INJURES CHILDREN WITH READING DISABILITY Criticism by the teacher and parents makes a child who reads poorly lose confidence in his ability to do school work and leads to the development of various emotional problems, with psychologic blocks which further aggravate the condition. This point is brought out in an editorial in the Journal of the American Medical Association which says that an estimated 12 per cent of all children in the United States fail to learn to read as well as the average of their school class. "It is doubtful that there is in these children any underlying organic lesion," "Emotional factors such as fear, anxiety, rivalry, jealousy, hostility for the parent or the teacher and a feeling of inferiority undoubtedly play an important role in creating these difficulties." Three recent articles in medical publications pointed out the belief that the new method of teaching reading the so-called "flash" method, is an important contributory factor in the creation of these disabilities, according to the editorial.
