Lamb, M.D., News America Service pHisoHex remedies stinky feet DEAR DR. LAMB: Let me thank you for solving a problem for me. My mother, who was well aware of the pro­ blem, sent me your column recommen­ ding pHisoHex for stinky feet. My feet used to stink terribly whenever I wore nylons to work and had to do much walking. Fortunately, I had a field Job which required very casual outdoor clothes, so I didn't have to dress up very often. Your article came at a most opportune time, as I was laid off that Job and started an office Job. After using pHisoHex approximately 10 to 12 days, my feet stopped smelling. What a relief to be able to wear dresses and nylons again! By the way, my doc­ tor had never heard of pHisoHex as a remedy, and I had to show him your ar­ ticle to get the prescription. DEAR READER: I'm delighted that your problem was so easily solved. I have received many letters from readers who have had a similar ex­ perience. Many of these people had practically scrubbed their feet raw. Even washing your feet every hour on the hour will not eliminate foot odors caused by bacteria living beneath the surface of the skin. But pHisoHex will kill these bacteria, and when they are gone, the odor is gone. Many people do not realize that odors are often caused by bacteria. Ordinary soap will not penetrate the skin surface and can't do the Job. There are other soaps that will penetrate, but pHisoHex is one of the best. It is still used by surgeons to scrub before operations. It got a bad rap because of its toxic effects in premature infants. It was absorbed through the delicate thin skin too easi­ ly. But this doesn't happen in adults. You can help ensure that you don't have trouble again by following a good routine in washing your feet and dry­ ing them. I recommend drying with alcohol except when you are using pHisoHex. The alcohol will destroy the pHisoHex action. I have discussed this problem in The Health Letter, Special Report 43, "Common Foot Problems: What to Do About Them," which I am sending you. Others who want this issue can send 75 cents with a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope for it to me in care of this newspaper, P.O. Box 19622, Irvine, CA 92713. Incidentally, nylons do tend to trap moisture and promote the growth of CROSSWORD bacteria. Try to avoid them as much as you can. DEAR DR. LAMB: In your column you always say miller's bran. Could you please explain it and tell me where I can buy it? DEAR READER: When wheat is milled the husk or bran is removed to leave the white flour. The bran left over from the milling is called miller's bran. It is a good source of bulk. You may be able to find it in your grocery store. If not, you should be able to find it at a health food store. It should be fairly cheap. DEAR DR. LAMB: I am a person who sprinkles pepper on several food items. Recently, when I did this In another's presence I was told that pep­ per contributed to hardening of the arteries. Well, of course I was shocked as I have never heard this before. What are the facts about this? DEAR READER: Hardening of the arteries is the same thing as fatty- cholesterol deposits in the arteries. There is no evidence that pepper will affect your cholesterol level or cause such deposits. Enjoy your pepper if it doesn't upset your digestive system.

East won but had nothing left to play but another diamond, allowing South to ditch his losing spade and make the contract.
