SIR: Readers, particularly those who want to keep osteoporosis at bay, or who already have signs of it, will be interested to hear that the Arthritis & Rheumatism Council (ARC) has produced a new booklet on the subject.
This is being issued as part of ARC'S Arthritis Research Week (June 3-9), which takes the form of an osteoporosis prevention campaign, telling of the strides which are being made through research to combat the disease. The booklet explains what you can do to guard against the condition, including hints on diet and exercise. For those who already have the problem it contains news on current treatment.
If you would like a copy of the booklet, you can obtain it free of charge by sending a 9in x 6in sae to me as below (29p.)
