WENDELL GRINSTEAD, circulation manager 'To your good health' By Boils and how to keep George Thosteson them from spreading M.D. DEAR DR. THOSTESON: What causes boils? And how can. they be prevented? K. D.

Boils are caused by bacteria usually either staphylococcus or streptococcus that get a foothold in the skin and then multiply. They are not, as so many people have been told, "from something in the blood." It may well be that some folks are better supplied with antibodies in the blood which suppress these germs before they get a good start, but that's beside the point. Boils develop from common bacteria on the skin. Let's say that you have a's single boil to start with. The boil represents a battle between the multiplying germs and the defensive forces of the body which are trying to keep the infection isolated and destroy it.

If some of those germs es-. cape, and find some other nesting place on the skin, (in a pore, beside a hair root, or in some tiny scratch or abrasion) they may start another boil. These new boils, or infections, do not start instantly. It takes a bit of time. Therefore, the first rule of keep preventing germs more from boils spreading is to new areas.

Keep a dressing on the boil. Use an antiseptic or germicidal preparation on and around the area. Burn or otherwise safely dispose of old dressings. Except in the process of applying a dressing, keep finaway from boil be- gers Wapello Homecoming events come to end Obituaries and CHARLES RUMMELLS WALTER W.

A hot wet compress will help the boil to point or. to a head." As this occurs, it is wise to see your doctor If -the boil ruptures by itself or you attempt to squeeze out the core, the danger of spreading the infection increases.

In some instances a particularly virulent or resistant germ may require special laboratory cultures to determine its nature and select the most suitable medication, but that is unusual. The simpler. methods usually suffice. DEAR DR. THOSTESON: Is It possible to become addicted to tea? I am 50 and have had few headaches in my time, but the days I don't drink tea, I get one and just as soon as I drink a cup of tea my headache leaves.

had been drinking three large cups a day, but tried to get away from it when I heard it had some kind of poison in it that gets into the bloodstream. MRS. G. M. It could well be the caffeine in the tea that relieves your headache, that plus any sugar you may use in it.

I see no danger in your use of tea. Three, cups a day is not excessive. DEAR DR. THOSTESON: had prostate surgery and now. notice that the, sperm does not discharge at all.

Will the undischarged sperm hurt the reproductive organs, or in time cause cancer around the blockage area? What happens to the sperm if it is not discharged? J. S. There is no cause to worry. The sperm is not Rather, it is discharged into the bladder, and flows away along with urination. DEAR DR.

THOSTESON: What is stasis dermatitis edema? What causes it and will cancer develop from it? I have this in the lower part of my leg and it swells once in a while. E. The "edema" part of it refers to fluid accumulating in the tissues, and causing swelling. This can result from such things as varicose veins, heart, kidney or liver disorders, but does not cause cancer. The "stasis dermatitis" part of it is related.

It is a bronzing, and sometimes scaling, of skin in the vicinity of the ankle. It can result from sluggish circulation as from varicose veins with or without edema. Troubled with varicose veins?
