HEALTH Rectal bleeding needs attention By Dr. Lawrence E. Lamb DEAR DR. LAMB: I am very con­ cerned about bleeding from my rec­ tum. When I go to the rest room and have a bowel movement 1 pass blood and It makes me very afraid. I know 1 have piles. I've been to thedoctor and he told me 1 have piles and he treats them whenever I go to see him. But he never tells me to get them operated on. Now the piles will not go back inside my rectum. It doesn't bother me but I do have bleeding every now and then. This has been going on a long time and I'd like to know your opi­ nion of this matter. DEAR READER: My first concern is to be certain that all my readers know that if they have bleeding from the rectum or in their bowel movement they must see a doctor as soon as possi­ ble. Why? You need to be certain it is not colorectal cancer. A cancer of the rectum can usually be cured if found early. In your case, I am glad you have been seeing a doctor and that you know your bleeding, is from hemorrhoids. But a tumor in the rectum can cause enough pressure to cause hemor­ rhoids, so an examination is essential. What needs to be done in your case depends entirely on the findings during physical examination. Perhaps your doctor has not discussed surgery with you because you have not asked him about it. Your description sounds like you would need surgery if you are to correct the hemorrhoid condition. If you had just internal hemorrhoids then you might be treated with injections or ligations. External hemorrhoids or those that are both Internal and exter­ nal usually require surgery. I have discussed the difference in In­ ternal and external hemorrhoids in The Health Letter 13-12, "Hemor­ rhoids: New Treatments for an Old Af­ fliction," which 1 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, Ir­ vine CA 92713. The term plies Is correctly applied to external hemorrhoids. The word comes from Latin and means "ball." They give the patient the sensation of sitting uncomfortably on a ball. Hemorrhoids refers to blood flow as oc­ curs from internal hemorrhoids. DEAR DR. LAMB: I am a 19-year- old diabetic. Recently I had a motorcy­ cle accident which severely fractured the tibia and fibula in my right leg. While convalescing, which has been taking months, 1 have dropped my weight from 150 to 120 pounds. I've heard you should eat large amounts of red meat to gain weight back fast. Is this so? Is red meat unhealthy for my system? Please let me know if It will help. DEAR READER: Please have your diabetes checked. If you are losing a lot of sugar In your urine that will cause you to lose weight. You might also be able to tell this by noticing if you are drinking lots of water and passing lots of urine. If your diabetes Is the answer to your weight loss, you need to have your diabetes controlled, not just eat more red meat. Lean /Meat Is actually low in calories, ami It Is a good source of pro­ tein for muscles. Meat with fat will give you lots of calories from the fat, not the flesh. If you need calories, fat meat is a good source; The only real danger is that a high-fat diet may raise your cholesterol, but you can have that checked first and followed as you regain lost weight. You probably also need a physical therapist to help you with exercises for your leg muscles If you can do strength exercises, that will help you build muscle rather than just adding fat to your body.

I don t play that way. nor do I suggest that you do so Holding the East cards, I would have bid two clubs. Later in the bidding I might support spades, but at least I would feel that I had set the stage for my partner making an effective .opening lead In the Cavendish Fairs, the bidding was. as ,shown East raised his part-s^Lfhoi ner's spade overcall, South bid three diamonds, his second suit, and North got a little carried away -- he jumped to five diamonds South can hardly be blamed for feeling North should have the diamond ace and the club king for such vigorous bidding, and so he bid six He got an unexpected dividend when poor West made the normal lead of the spade king Trumps were drawn and declarer played the A-K of hearts and ruffed a heart. When the queen fell. South scored an overtrick, shed­ ding all dummy's clubs on the good hearts Can you imagine South ever bidding six diamonds if East had stuck in a two-club bid earlier?
