TRIUMPH OF SCIENCE.
Child's Mentality Developed by Sc.
rum From Sleeps Gland.

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, April ca
If all the sheep in the world were to
die suddenly, physicians say, fifteen
year-old Katie Feringa of this city
would become hopeless imbeciIe.
When Katie was thirteen years old
neighbors complained to the authorities
that she was being kept tied UP in a
sor; CT cellar The child and her
parents were brought into the juvenile
court. The parents said Katie was not
right
This the doctors discovered to be cor
rect Katie had the mentality of a
two yearold, they said. and was as
small child of four. The ply
sicians discovered that the thyroid
gland in katie's neck was not normally
developed This they said, was the
cause OF her mental and physical de-
formity. They decided to experiment.
The injection of a serum from the
thyroid gland OF sheep was tried.
Immediately Katie began to grow
brighter, and several inches were ad-
ded to her stature But she is de-
pendent upon the serum.
This is the reason that now, when
Katie goes out into the sunshine with
the gladness of normally mental
child, she sends up a little prayer of
gratitude for the sheep in the meadows.
