LAMB: 1 have a problem that I am embarrassed to ask about. Whenever I laugh I lose control and wet myself. It Is not a lot, but it is enough to be noticeable. This doesn't happen except when I laugh or cough. It really affects my enjoying life. I'm afraid to listen to a Joke at a party because it might embarrass me, and 1 don't mean the content of the Joke. When I go out I try to take a hair dryer in my purse in case I need to go to the bathroom and dry myself. That isn't always satisfactory, either. That is not something you can do in a public restroom even if you can find the elec­ trical outlet. Imagine If someone comes and sees you there using the dryer. It is no laughing matter, especially for me. I'm scared to death that if I'm visiting someone I'll lose control and when I get up there will be a wet spot on my dress and on the chair. I really need some help with this problem before I become a recluse. I'm 42 and much too young to be having this kind of problem. DEAR READER: No, you are not too young. A large number of women in your age group have similar problems. It is called stress urinary incontinence. In your age group the most common cause is from vaginal deliveries with childbirth. The muscles and structures that support your pelvic organs become stretched and cause your uretha, and sometimes your bladder, to sag. You have probably noticed that you usually have this problem when you are standing, or at least sitting, rather than when you are lying down. This same problem can occur in women who are low on estrogen, as after the menopause. Then if the muscles that support the pelvic organs are not strengthened, with time and age they sag and the problem begins. Eventually you may need surgery to help provide the support you need to control this problem. In the meantime you may be able to help yourself with some specific exercises to help tighten the pelvic muscles. 1 have described these in The Health Letter, Special Report 50, "Urinary Incontinence In Women," 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, Ir­ vine, CA 92713. r There are other causes for in­ continence, but they are more often associated with urgency, as occurs with a urinary tract infection. Even damage to the nerve fibers to the blad­ der, as can occur in diabetes, may cause It. lncidently, being overweight makes it more likely for a woman to have stress incontinence. If you need to lose weight, and do, that may help some. DEAR DR. LAMB: I have been tak­ ing Dyazlde dally for the past three years to control fluid retention. This problem started during my first pregnancy five years ago and never stopped. My blood pressure has been and Is fine. That Is not the reason for the Dyaiide prescription. Now 1 find that 1 am almost two mon­ ths pregnant and wonder If the dally use of this medicine could have harm­ ed my baby in any way. DEAR READER: No one can give you a definite answer to that question, but it probably has not harmed your baby. Dyaiide Is a combination of two drugs, hydrochlorothlaxlde and Dyrenlum. The first Is the same diuretic found In many medicines and Is marketed under the trade name HydroDlurll. It can pass the placental barrier and has the same effects on the baby as It does on the mother. Dyrenlum Is excreted In the mother's milk, and If a mother must take It she probably should not nurse her baby.

Jar oh y paper tnlrrprl»« A *«ir>< i^»i< Putting it on hold Everyone is familiar with the old- fashioned holdup play. Maybe the de­ clarer has the ace of a suit and is play­ ing in no-trump. So he waits as long as possible before taking the ace. Next thing you know, he gives up a trick to the defense, but that defender is help­ less since he is now void in his part­ ner's suit. Here is a variation on that theme. Declarer played low from dummy and won East's jack of spades with the queen. He realized the danger of hav­ ing East win a trick and come through his spade 10, so he played a heart to the king and led a low diamond from dummy. East was ahead of the game and quickly put up the king of dia­ monds. Now a spade back put the de­ clarer one down. That was a fine play by East, and quite frequently the play would not be made. But declarer should never have given the defense that chance. When East played the spade jack at trick one, he should have been allowed to hold that trick. On the continuation. South would play the 10 and win the trick regardless of whether West put up the king. Now diamonds can be safely played as long as West did not start with both the ace and the king. When West wins the ace, he can knock out declarer's last spade stopper, but he cannot get back on lead to cash out his winners and beat the contract.
