You might object that divorce isn't illegal in Pennsylvania, that a DA can't act unless a crime is committed. But you don't know [Bruce Castor]. When marriage is at stake, the absence of a crime doesn't prevent him from threatening a prosecution. In fact, he's threatened criminal action against someone, Montgomery County Register of Wills Frances Pierce, who isn't even getting divorced.
Castor, though, is unbowed. While most legal opinions are not disclosed publicly, Castor's came with its own press release. "There should be no 'Rosie O'Donnell' weddings in Pennsylvania, and there won't be if I'm the attorney general," the release proclaimed.
Castor clearly knows how to push their buttons. When an aide to Castor's rival in the AG's race, Republican Tom Corbett, charged Castor with "poli...

DEAR DR. GOTT: Here is a little more about castor oil-based Castiva for arthritis. I've been putting it on my arthritic hands for more than a year. It has really helped, allowing me to continue playing the violin, knitting and crocheting (not to mention typing just as fast as I always have!)
I have not seen anyone mention this, but I want to tell those who might be put off by this treatment because they think it will be oily and messy: It isn't. I rub it onto my hands at night, put on some soft gloves and go to bed. In the morning, my hands are not the least bit oily - just baby soft and smooth.

Dear Dr. Gott: I am writing to tell you how your column has changed the quality of my life for the better - in particular, the castor oil applied topically for arthritis.
My lower back has a degenerated disc and was causing me a lot of pain. My primary care physician referred me for physical therapy, which was too expensive at $30 per co-pay, three times per week. I also consulted my sister's chiropractor, X-rays in hand, and was again told it would take six to eight weeks of treatment, three times a week, and a $30 co-pay per visit. Plus, I was leery of the manipulation involved. Then I was referred to an orthopedic doctor who gave me a cortisone-type injection in my lower back, with only fair results.

Dear Dr. Gott: I often feel unable to try out the suggested remedies in your column because they are not specific. For instance, when using castor oil for arthritis pain, do you ingest it? How do you add Certo to grape juice? I'd like to try these remedies.
Dear reader: Castor oil is rubbed into the skin over the affected joints. Certo comes in a liquid form and is combined with grape juice (1 tablespoon Certo in 8 ounces purple grape juice one to three times a day).
