Dear Abby Advice Column on Family Troubles and Thanks
A mother seeks guidance about her nine sons and their tumultuous marriages and behavior. Dear Abby counsels not blaming the mother, suggests seeking support, and emphasizes seeking help from a clergy member. A separate query asks when middle age begins with a humorous answer about steam on a bathroom mirror. A mother asks if telephoned thanks are acceptable, Abby recommends written notes but accepts calls, and offers a booklet for letter writing.

More warnings for smokers in drug therapy
The People's Pharmacy reports that smoking alters drug metabolism, reducing blood levels and effectiveness of many medicines. Nicotine stimulates liver enzymes, causing faster clearance of pain relievers like Darvon and Talwin, antidepressants, Valium, and asthma drugs such as Theophylline. Caffeine is excreted more quickly, and higher coffee intake may occur. Doctors may need to adjust doses for smokers to avoid therapeutic failures.
