Q: Since the 1970s I have been a collector, and especially interested in Jim Beam bottles. I need to sell my collection and appreciate any help you can give me. -- Peter, Albuquerque, N.M.

A: Jim Beam bottles are difficult to sell, and they don’t seem to be as popular with collectors as they were three or four decades ago. One of the better clubs is the Evergreen Jim Beam Club, 509 NE 165th, No. 154, Seattle, WA 98155; www.jimbeamclub.com. For bottle questions, con-tact Tom at [email protected].

• • •Q: I have three ingots honoring the 1973 Triple-

Crown winner, Secretariat. They were struck in lim-ited editions, and each has a certificate of authentic-ity. I would like to know their real value. -- Efren, Kissimmee, Fla.

A: I examined the Xerox copies you sent me and noted that the ingots were issued by Silver Creations, Ltd., of Emerson, N.J. That is where you should be-gin. This might be difficult, since I was not able to track down an address or even verification that the company still exists. Your next option is to show them to an established coin dealer in your area. I predict you are going to be disappointed in what you discover.

• • •Q: I have hundreds of sports cards and thousands

of comic books that originally belonged to my late husband. I want to know what they are all worth. -- Rhonda, Albuquerque, N.M.

A: For comics, I recommend the Comic Book Checklist & Price Guide, which features more than 125,000 comics with current values. This book was compiled by Maggie Thomson, Brent Franken-hoff and Peter Bickford, all comic book experts. It is $19.95 and available through the publisher, www.Krause.com. For sports cards, there are also excellent references, including The Standard Cata-logue of Football Cards (KP Books, 24.99), and The Standard Catalogue of Baseball Cards edited by Don Fluckinger (Krause, $39.99).

• • •Q: I have a black dial-up telephone. What is it

worth, and is anyone interested in buying it? -- Trudy, Sun City, Ariz.

A: The black dial-up phones are fairly common and seem to be selling in the $10 to $25 range in metro-Phoenix near where you live.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: For the past year, my wife has had to deal with autoimmune hepatitis. It’s something that hardly anyone knows about or understands, and that makes it even more difficult to cope with. Everyone thinks she has an infection. I can only haltingly explain what she has. Will you tell your readers about this illness? -- D.R.

ANSWER: Say “hepatitis,” and people automatically think of a viral infection. Say “cirrhosis,” which is sometimes the last stage of hepatitis, and people think of alcohol as the cause. Not all hepatitis is virus-caused, and not all cirrhosis is alcohol-caused. Your wife’s illness is an example. Her liver is inflamed (hepatitis), not from an infection but from an attack on her liver by her immune system.

The reason why a person’s immune system, a system designed to keep us healthy, turns on the liver is obscure. Signs that the immune system is the cause are demonstrable by finding antibod-ies in the blood. Antibodies are the ammunition the immune system makes to fend off dangerous invaders. One special antibody, the anti-nuclear antibody, is a big indication that the liver has come under an immune attack.

The course of autoimmune hepatitis is unpre-dictable. It might be mild with few symptoms, or it may take a more aggressive course in which the skin and eye whites turn yellow, where fatigue is immobilizing, where abdominal pain is common and where the skin develops an itch.

Quite often, a liver biopsy is the procedure that provides evidence of autoimmune hepatitis.

Prednisone, one of the cortisone drugs, often is the treatment of choice. It reins in an out-of-con-trol immune system. Another immune-modifying drug, azathioprine, can be added to the regimen. It sounds like your wife is responding well to

treatment (from parts of your letter that I had to delete).

The booklet on hepatitis details the various forms of the illness, and how they are acquired and treated. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 503W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

• • •DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What is the procedure

for removing a tick attached to your skin? Can you remove it yourself, or should it be removed only by a physician? -- T.R.

ANSWER: It’s safe for people to remove ticks on their own. You need tweezers with fine grooves on their lower, inner surfaces.

Grasp the tick as close to the skin as you can and as close to the tick’s head. Gently but firmly pull the tick straight out, at a right angle to the skin. Don’t crush it.

Don’t bother with popular techniques such as coating the tick with petroleum jelly or applying a just-blown-out match to it.

• • •Dr. Donohue regrets

that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newslet-ters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Never has four-time champion Jeff Gordon gone through a season like this one.

Gordon, who turns 41 on Aug. 4, failed to make the Chase, NASCAR's version of what other sports call play-

offs, in 2005, but that year he finished 11th in the final point standings. At present he is 17th, winless and 89 points out of the top 10.

In a span of seven races, the chance of Gordon reaching the top 10 (by regular season's end) is almost nil. He could make the Chase as a wild card, but that almost certainly would require a pair of victories.

Gordon finished sixth in the Lenox 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, but at this point, it makes little difference. Gordon must win and knows it.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway is next up on the schedule July 29. Gordon is the only NASCAR driver with four Brickyard victories. He can ill afford to let this one pass without winning a fifth.

"We've made some gains this year, and the speed has shown many times, just the results haven't," Gordon

said. "But I think back to last year at Indianapolis and how good we were, and that's what memory I'm going to have going in there this year; how can we be that good, and improve on our performance versus our competition in these next several weeks."

Gordon finished second to upset winner Paul Menard at Indianapolis last year.

"The urgency to win starts in Day-tona in February, so we're not doing anything different than we have all year long," Gordon said. "We're just trying to cross our T's and dot our I's and just do everything right. We know how hard it is to win, and we also know how easy it can be when you do things right and have a fast race car.

"Is there urgency? Yeah, absolutely. One win is going to be great, but it's still not going to get us into the Chase, I don't believe. We know we've got to put a string of races together here to get ourselves in that opportunity to win more than one race."

It's quite a challenge, even for one of NASCAR's all-time greats, and the regular season is winding down.

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I can't leave my dog "Shadie" alone in the house, so I have to take her with me when I go shopping. How long can I keep her inside my car before it gets too hot? My friend says 20 minutes, if I keep the windows cracked a little. -- Danielle F., Atlanta

DEAR DANIELLE: How about never? A parked car in the summer heat, even with the windows open a bit to let in airflow, can quickly heat up to extreme temperatures. Neither pets nor humans can stand the quick rise in temperature -- so being left in a parked car can prove fatal.

If you're planning to go out for a few minutes to pick up some groceries or handle a quick errand, leave Shadie at home. Your dog should be able

to handle a short period without you. If Shadie doesn't handle it well, such as getting agitated, chewing up furni-ture or shoes, there are training solu-tions to solve that problem.

Another solution, if you must bring your dog, is to bring along a trustworthy friend who is will-ing to sit in the car with the dog, with the motor running and the air condi-tioner on to keep it cool. Your friend will need to monitor

Shadie while you shop. But this has its own pitfalls -- I don't know many people willing to wait around while their friend is in the store.

Again, I can't stress enough how important it is to not leave Shadie alone in the car, for even a few minutes. She easily could suffer heat exhaustion or stroke. Instead, invest some time helping to resolve Shadie's separation anxiety so she'll be happy and healthy at home.

• The ancient Egyptians were known to use crocodile dung as a contraceptive.

• You may be surprised to learn that when the hit 1950s TV show "I Love Lucy" had its premiere, Lucille Ball was already 40 years old.

• Talk about sneaky: In order to get a photo of Bing Crosby in his coffin, The National Enquirer tabloid had a reporter dress as a priest and sneak into the private funeral service. To top it off, on his way out of the service, the disguised journalist told ABC reporter Geraldo Rivera not to pester the family at such a sensitive moment.

• Every year, about $500 million is spent on beads for Mardi Gras.

• Ever wonder how the statuette taken home by winners of the Academy Awards got its nickname? Evidently, in 1931 a secretary at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences saw the statuette for the first time and exclaimed, "Why, he reminds me of my Uncle Oscar!" The comment struck the fancy of a reporter who was present, and he put it in a story about the awards, and the name stuck.

• Are you acersecomic? If your hair has never been cut, you are.
