By IRWIN J. POLK, M.D. Bedwetting is a problem for mothers. faNt theretthe Mothers wet: in ,are very few adult bedwetters at: all., This fact should' be ,comforting to the parents of IQ who wet. For if there are min) kid bedwet- tees, but just a rare Milt who' wets, itshould be obvious that tr • bedwetting is yet another no, to serious problem of kids This was exactly , th viewpoint of a urologist asked about.. the proble mm. Th doctor, who declined to hay • his name used, said, "Bed- wetting is a housekeeping problem. If the mothe doesn't mind changing shee and can keep from making th h1 dfe` �. ty; there's .m .. j _' gio•T• djido b But, he added, "If the child wets during the day too, or has any sign of kidney or bladder infection then a com- plete workup should be done.,, Ann Landers got me started on this topic. Lately people have been bringing me copies of a column in which. Ann Lan- ders : discussed bedwetting. One of her readers wrote about a wonderful drug which had cured her sun of bedwetp ting and suggested Ann Landers tell her readers about it. The columnist declined t"... because some darned ools would go out and buy it in spite of what I'm going, to tell...." She consulted with a "professor at Harvard Medi- cal School" who had this to say, `"I hope that mother will get another medical opinion at once because the course she- is following can be ex- tremely dangerous., If a child has a bladder problem and takes a drug that expands his bladder, it . could cause the wine to back up into the kid- neys and create a condition that might result in kidney failure." Ann ganders and her "pro- fessor" to the contrary, let's take a' medical look at the. problem. Bedwetting is con - I e• s sidered unusual in a child over the age of 4. It happenAt to - about 15 per cent of kids and is usually continuous from in- fancy. In some cases it begins . - after a year or two of bladder control. Occasional day -wet- ting accompanies the night wetting, but as the doctor said above, if this happens, a ' workup is usually in .order. The mfaitt feature of the problem of the child who wets is that he has an urgent need •i to empty his bladder when it is full, both in day and at night. During the day, he can answer the urge, but at night he may sleep through. Some- times these kids have smaller than normal bladder, but this is not always true. Bedwetting seems to run in iikoR novas a rule. Nor are the chil- dren with nighttime bedwet ting affected very : much by the problem. In fact, bedwet- ters are less psychologically upset,by their problem than children with learning dis- abilities are with theirs. So for the most part, bedwetting is not a psychological problem; it's a housekeeping one. One medicine seems to help, but no one is sure exact- ly how. It is called imipramine and sold under the trade name • "Tofranil." The drug seems to make the bladder stretch a little more, often enough to get' a child through the night without wet. ting. Like other 'medicines, imipramine has side effects, but they occur very rarely. Dr. Leans -A. Barness, pro. feasor of pediatrics at the Medical School of the Univers sity of South Florida in Tampa, says, "I understand that the drug may some times be dangerous. But I find it useful in shorterm treat- ment of bedwetting and I use it for one to 'three ' months where Y think it will help." So do. .many other doctors throughout the country. Ann Lenders goofed She stepped way out of her field of expertise. Apparently ;able d estA7evenflutow that, darned fools among her read- ers can't gel imipramine without a prescription. And she upset lots of mothers whose kids are being treated by reputable doctors with a useful drug, which, like all other medicines, has side ef- fects. YOUR HANDWRITING TELLS Logical thinking shown in 'n' top By DOROTHY ST.

You think logically, as seen in the rounded tops on your n's and you like to combine this thinking pattern with an ex- amination of facts.

You lack the development of a colorful imagination which brings these little mon. strosities of a child's mind into real life. For a child's sake, abstract. thoughts of love, knowledge, hope, and faith must be reduced into a very real state. A child cannot understand a story without a "picture" to see — just as he cannot under- stand love without the "feel" of a warm embrace. ' D.J.
