remove tumors and cancers IN others? To
cure indigestion in dyspeptics and remove
yaricose veins and ulcers In others? These
are some of the undeniable facts that could
not be satisfactorily answered. but which
are now made plain By chemical science.
Experiment by eminent medical author
tiles has shown that the Thyroid. Thymus
and other glands have much to do with
physical and mental growth and deyelop-
functional activity OF all organs and sys-
TENS of the body through life; but just how
1t was done or what was elaborated by
these glands was unknown.
