ANSWER: Use a prepared paint remover, available at aint and hardware stores, fol- wing label directions carefully. if the pigment is deeply em- bedded complete removal may be very difficult. Some paint and masonry dealers carry ex- cellent masonry cleaning preparations; well worth inves- tigating. To prevent further staining as the house paint 'chalks', give the brick surface a_ coat of transparent, liquid water- is well-ventilated while working; and be careful of the fire hazard. CLEANING GROUTING + QUESTION: The grouting be- tween tiles in the bathroom, es- pecially in the shower stall, is becoming dark and dingy. What can I use to clean it?

MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I am close to 80 years old. A few weeks ago my right arm and leg gave out. I couldn't control them. This only lasted a little while. "|The doctor told me I had had Fia stroke. My blood pressure 4 )was 172. I get so weak during the day I can hardly complete my work. 'Can I do anything to prevent another stroke? The doctor gave me some pills. Do I get weak from them?--RH There are largé strokes and small ones and some so minor that they even pass unnoticed, or at any rate unrecognized. Yours, evidently, was rela- tively mild since you have re- gained use of the arm and the leg, and. that is an excellent sign. One stroke decidedly does. not mean that you are bound to have another. At the same time, it is only good sense to take i|reasonable precautions against };high blood pressure. This may or not have had anything to do with the stroke. That is, ja stroke is interference with jcirculation in some part of: the |/brain. There may have been rupture or leak in one of the vessels, or there may In any event, your ability to use the arm and leg indicate, that part of the brain now is functioning again.
