In fact, it also drives many young people into a life of crime. Others grow so blue that they contemplate suicide. But they can change their entire outlook within 30 days by the facts below. Pass this Case Record along to anybody who needs it. By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE J-573: Alma D., aged 17, is upset. "Dr. Crane," she began iserably, "you can probably see what my problem is. "For my face looks horrible, due to all these pimples. "A lot of people even shun me, thinking I must have some venereal disease. "And boys never, never ask me for a date! "So my life is miserable and I often wish I were dead! "Is there any hope for a person like me?" ACNE DEPRESSION Acne is a common occurrence, especially among teenagers! And it is definitely NOT a venereal disease! But it plays havoc with one's complexion, for it usually affects the face and upper chest regions. Greasy or rich foods seem to make it worse, so such victims must realize that they should watch their diets as carefully as does the diabetic. In the human skin we have sweat glands as well as oil (sebaceous) glands. The oil glands produce a greasy substance to keep the skin soft. But they often get plugged with dust and thus produce blackheads (comedons). Then the victims try to squeeze these blackheads between their thumb and fingers. But this breaks down the tissue and causes large red welts to take the place of the former blackheads. These red lumps may cover . the cheeks and thus disfigure the facial beauty of its victim. So follow this medico-psychological prescription: (1) Be sure your bowels move regularly and you avoid rich, greasy foods. This is the systemic or over-all medical approach to acne! (2) At night, lather your face with a non-irritating soap. Then apply hot towels while the soapsuds are still on the skin, much as barbers do before shaving a customer. Then wash the face in warm water to cleanse all dust specks and grease. (3) Then use a blackhead remover to make the blackheads pop out. This is a small metal instrument, available at drugstores, with a small hole in one end which you press over the blackhead. It offers uniform pressure all around the blackhead, so the latter will be expressed without the usual damage when youetnploy thumb and fingers. An empty .22 caliber cartridge will do much the same thing as the blackhead remover. (4) After expressing the blackheads, then douse cold water on your face to shrink the s.kin. If these measures don't prove adequate, a skin doctor (dermatologist) can grind the ugly red bumps down to the level of the surrounding skin. (5) Then join my "Compliment Club" and start winning friends by paying your comrades honest compliments. So send for my booklet "The Psychology & Medicine of the Face," enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents. It can change your entire social outlook within 30 days! (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long stamped, addressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.)

Yolles, M.D., Director National Institute of Mental Health Can Former Patients Hold Jobs? The answer to this question should be a resounding, "Yes!" Strong evidence shows that former mental patients rffn only are employable, but also make better than average workers. Employers and communities that take in an individual who has suffered from mental illness aren't "taking a big chance." Far and away the odds are that the person will do well. This has long been proved. But now and then incidents occur which indicate that the 20th Century hasn't yet arrived everywhere. They point up the fact that everyone, and cerr tainly every employer, should learn the real facts about mental illness. Just outside • our Nation's Capital two employees resigned from their jobs. They had suffered attacks of mental illness previously in their lives. Witch hunts were carried on in the Dark Ages. Then, mentally ill were systematically hunted down and persecuted. These practices are thought to have ended long ago. The two employees who lost their jobs would have difficulty in believing this. The witch hunt in their case was the physical examination required of employees. The two people had been interviewed and employed and, from reports, were doing good work. Since physical exams often cannot be given immediately, it was six weeks after they were on the job before they were called for the examinations. Their past history of haying had a mental illness was disclosed in response to part of the exam. It was reported that they then resigned after being told that they failed to meet medical standards. When newspapers broke the story, moves came t<j^ help. "It is incredible that ouro county should act like that," a county council member said. "If past mental illness forecloses future employment, we will never solve any mental health problems." The incident shows that the struggle against prejudice and misinformation must be constantly carried on. The National Institute of Menta) Health will gladly provide information for anyone concerning jobs and mental illness.
