adelphia.-That sex OF children
may be predetermined is the conclu.
sion reached by DR.. Israel Bran OF
this city after n study OF 30 OF his pa,
tients upon whom he experimental
with special diet and also with medi.
cine. His conclusions are given In the
current number of medical newspa-
per.
DR.. Bran says that an excess OF
nourishment In the mother may decide
in favor OF female child. while a
deficiency tends to the production OF O
male. A generous diet means n girl; a
scanty one, with low proteid allow.
ance, favors boy. In support OF this
theory II is advanced that In times OF
financial panic or war, when plentt
full quantity OF rich nitrogenous food
is not available. male infants are In
the preponderance.
The second theory is that sex Is de-
termined by the activity OF the adrenal
glands, those ductless glands above
the kidneys, which secrete a substance
that seems TO have an important effect
on the entire muscular and nervous
system.
II is declared that in women who
are deficient in the adrenal supply
their offspring are female. II is there
fore thought that the use OF the ex
tract OF suprarenal glands OF animals
or similar substance which woulc
stimulate the adrenal glands would IN
crease the chances OF male child.
Or. Bran says that OF 80 OF his pa
tents who placed themselves under his
directions 26 gave birth TO boys.
These results" he writes. strongly
indicate that the experiment employed
was highly successful, and that he
probably have at our disposal n means
OF controlling at will the sex OF the un
born infant"
In accordance with these theories II
n boy is desired the treatment Is diet
airy and medicinal. Eggs, meat. fish
and cheese are forbidden. and IL is db
rected that the diet consist OF such
substances as cereals, fruits, potatoes
milk, buttermilk and butter. Plenty OF
water Is advised.
