Reader response to the column on self regulation and the sharing of medication has been very interesting and instructive. Some readers have reported anecdotes which illustrate the important points of the article. Here in the words of Health watch readers are clues to important preventive medicine concepts. “Dear Dr. Beitman: When my husband ran out of his heart medicine, I gave him a few days ofi mine to tide him over until his doctor’s appointment. Little did 1 understand how important the medicine was for to continue taking! ' Since I had no symptoms, I figured I wouldn’t miss out by skipping a few days. I am - alive today only because of the excellent emergency squad that responded to my heart attack. It seems that I was feeling so well because the medicine was regulating and protecting my heart. I should never have risked the few days without it. I only hope your readers will heed your warnings about not sharing their medications. Mrs. Ruth M., Villas” “Dear Dr. Beitman: Your article has taught me something I have been doing wrong. Each time I get a urinary tract infection I take antibiotics from the doctor, just until the symptoms go away, and then stop them. The infections often come right back. I gather that I have been killing just enough bacteria to stop the symptoms and leaving enough bacteria present to allow the infection to start back up. Thank you, from now on I finish my medication. Suzanne S., N. Wildwood” ‘‘Dear Dr. Beitman. It was such a sad day in my life when I made my daughter deathly ill by giving her a dose of my insulin when hers ran out. Probably I didn’t listen well enough when the doctor explained the difference between the two types of insulin. However, I figured it wouldn’t make enough difference to hurt her, and my • kind is so much cheaper. Unfortunately she had a massive reaction against my type of insulin, and the dose was far too weak for her. She survived, but almost died that night. Please print my letter so no one will ever make the same mistake. Mrs. Lawrence H.. Rio Grande” Note: These letters speak for themselves^

Q. 1 have Medicare coverage, and I am being treated by a chiropractor for back pain. Will Medicare help pay for these treatmehts? A. MEDICARE medical insurance helps pay for one kind of treatment given by a licensed and certified chiropractor The only treatment that can be covered is manual manipulation of the spine to correct a condition called a “subluxation”. The suhluxation must proven by X-ray. But your Medicare medical insurance does not pay for any other diagnostic or therapeutic services, including X-rays, which are offered by a chiropractor. Q. I was recently widowed and am very depressed. The doctor I normally see has suggested that I see as psychiatrist for help. Will my Medicare insurance pay for this kind of treatment? IF' YOU have Medicare medical'' insurance, ser-

vices you receive from a doctor for outpatient treatment of a mental illness — such as severe depression — are covered under a special payment ruler But, the maximum amount medical insurance can pay for these services is $250 in a year. The payment would be less than $250, though, if • charges for these services are used to meet part or all of your $74 deductible. Q. I have married and changed my name. Does that mean I will get a new Social Security numter? A. SINCE YOU changed your name, you will get another card with your new 1 name, but with the same number Q After I got a Social Security number, I found that my parents got one for me when I was a child. What do I do now? A. Get in touch with any Social Security office. The people there will help correct your records so that you will be credited for all the earnings reported for you.

CALL IT NORTH CAPE MAY What is the name of our municipality? Is if Lower Township? Is it Township of Lower? Is it the Township of Lower? A large sign in front of the police building reads “Lower Township Police.” Within the same complex, the next building is city hall. The sign on front of this building says “Township of Lower Municipal • Building.” The next building sign reads "Cape May County Library Lower Branch.” On the next building the sign reads "The Lower Township Chamber of Commerce.” Behind city hall, the ’ • sign on another building reads "Lower Township Recreation Center.” The remaining building is'a school which, I suppose, has no name because the names are about used up. If we go*South on Bayshore Road, we come to another sign which reads: "The Township Lower M.U.A.” Our High School is named Lower Cape May Regional High School. I have been living in this area — the largest municipality in Cape May County, and yet I am still confused as to its actual name. Out of our 17,000 to 19,000 residents, I seriously do not believe there are even a dozen people who know the correct name of this municipality. They do know the word “Lower” is in the name. There is something downgrading about the word “Lower.” As we are on the verge of having a new form of government, let’s upgrade our name to “NORTH CAPE MAY." Immediately, we gain a million or more people all of whom are potential visitors who would automatically know where we are located. Think about this - visitors and customers. Our municipality needs visitors. Try explaining to a friend or relative from out of town where Lower Township is. Tell them North Cape May, and you will not have to explain any further. LET'S CAPITALIZE ON “CAPE MAY” INSTEAD OF SOMETHING LOWER Ellery M. Bowman President of Bowman Builders, Villas
