old bird gives you too much trouble cali

out"
1t didn't take Frank more than a couple
of minutes to climb over the ledge and
peer into the cave. The place where he
stood was comparatively feyel, and the
opening to the cave was good and large.
"Hurrah!" he shouted, after he had
made a scrutiny of the inside. There's s
no bird there. She must have left while
we were climbing the cliff 1 see one egg

Picking up the egg carefully Frank put
it in his handkerchief and swung it
around his neck, so as to have both
hands free to make his perilous trip back
along the ledge.
He had made about quarters of
the distance when an ominous rattle of
wings told him that danger was near.
Looking up he saw two condors sweeping
down upon him.
The birds were little timid about max
ing the attack, and several times came
quite near and then swerved off into space
again. This gave Frank a chance, and
his first thought was for the prize that he
had been at such pains to secure. Fred
was standing on the other end of the
ledge with his club in one hand and with

well. we can help her. She is a cretin.
Cretinism is a form of idiocy caused by
the lack of part of the thyroid gland. 1t
is a form of gotre. Many children have
it. The moment the thyroid secretion
stops forming the development Of the
child stops short. If, for instance, the
child had advanced to the age of seven
and then failed of it's thyroid. it would
go through life as a Seven-year-old child
as far as brain development is concerned
There is an opposite condition brought
about when too much thyroid secretion is
deposited. We know it then as exophthal-
mic goitre.
"a person with this malady is the oppo-
site of the idiot-that is, intensely active
and alert, supersensitive in all things,
the antithesis of dullness, as it were
Exophthalmic goitre can be cured by re-
moving part of the thyroid gland from the
throat; cretinism can be cured, or rather
held in check by administering thyroid
extract to the idiot If a child is taken
young and properly doctored with thyroid
extract ii will go on developing just like
any normal child But-and here is a
possibility for a novel writer-if the ad-
ministering of the extract should be
stopped suddenly the youngster would re-
lapse into it's former idiotic state or at
any rate stop off where it was. Think of
a curse of idiocy hanging over ones head

its physiological features?"

ment may be said to determine the demise
of the patient. Sponges are bad. From
their very nature they become collecting
agents, and soon poison the body, The
smooth metal objects, on the other hand,
are apt to work their way into the alimen-
tary tract, and then they soon pass away.
You doubtless have heard of needles

carry the bullets shot into them during
the Civil War. The glass swallowers of

stances in the human body.
But the most wonderful case of all
was that of an insane man whom | saw
in an asylum in Lancaster, Pa He took
to swallowing things in the carpenter
shop, and before he was stopped he had
gulped down $40 odd nails of all sizes,
some buckles, a piece of old iron, some
screws and a lot of other things-I can
not remember them all now but it is on
the record. Well. they tied him down
and anesthetcized him and extracted the

The surgeon turned away to the next
patient who was being prepared for ope
ration. She was a child lying motionless
on the table and staring upward toward
the great skylight with the hopeless in
difference of the idiot. Her lips were
thick. her tongue protruded, her hair had
a peculiar silky appearance. She did not
appear to be an ordinary imbecile. She
betrayed no uneasiness under the opera
ton and her case was soon disposed of.
