BOW LEGS AND SIMPLE
METHODS OF TREATMENT
By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.

COME children are born with bow legs,
~ others achieve bow legs, and still
others have bow legs thrust upon them.
The tirstborn always look bow-legged,
pug-nosed, squint-eyed and generally
unsatisfactory to the anxious father.
Not so the mother, she thinks the homely
little stranger beautiful.
If the bow legs are moderate, as they
are In most instances, nature will bring
apout spontaneous recovery in due time.
If the dcformity is severe, operation is
necessary.
Braces are valuable in retaining the
correction gained by operation, but it is
very doubtful whether any advantage is
to be had from applying braces with the
idea of gradually correcting the bowling.
Massage and gentle efforts to straighten
the legs are advisable in every case of
bow legs This may be done night and
morning for five minutes.
But remember that moderate bow legs
will usually straighten as the child grows
perhaps the one pathological condition
a child really does "outgrow.'
The operation for bow legs may be
boodless one in which the curved
bone is fractured, under anesthesia and
reset in a correct position. And this pain
less, absolutely safe operation is the only
one that ever aroused in the heartless
author of these lines anything akin to
emotion-the anxiety or the few seconds
of waiting for the bending bone to break
centered itself viciously in the solar
plcXus, but it didn't 80 any farther.
Sometimes 1t is necessary to cut down
upon the bone to correct the deformity,
but not before the fourth year.
, People often ask if early efforts to
walk will favor deformity of the legs.
Not If the efforts are voluntary and the
child not too fat or rIckety. Ricketts,
often causes bone deformitics, and many
children fed on artificial foods, like con-
densed milk and matted milk and the
cereal baby foods without raw cows
milk, do grow too fat and develop rickcts.
In another talk we shall discuss ricketts,.

How Tempus Does Fugit 4!

Where Is little Toddlekins, who used to
sit and crow
Or bend his head down solemnly and try
10 bite his toe?
Whose funny little shell-pinlS nose would
pucker up in fear
When all the neighbor ladies cried "Oh,
isn't he a dear"
You haven't seen him lately. hey? Well,
well. The young galoot
Went to n dansant last night in fathers
evening suit,
Where is little Curleyhead, to whom a
brief while back
You fed at stated intervals ten drops of
ipecac?
1t seems about a week ago you used to
fairly quake
While running for the doctor when he
got the stomachache,
You see that husky copper shouting;
"Hi! You Go ahead"
out yonder on the avenue? Well. that is
Curleyhead.
Where is little Dimplechn. who used TO
take delight
In sleeping all the live-long day and stay
ing up all night?
Remember how she sat up straight with
happy little COOS?
You hardly have made up the sleep she
used TO make you lose,
You haven't seen her recently? Heigh.
oh! The years have flown!
SHE'S got little Dimplechin that's all
her very own.

SURE way TO GET Z
RID OF DANDRUFF
End Itching Scalp and Stop Fall
ing Hair-At Once.

There IS one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruf completely and that
IS to dissolve it. This destroys 1t en-
tirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain. ordinary liquid arvon
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to Tloisten the scalp and rub It
IN gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, If not all, OF your
dandruf will be gone. and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You viii find, too. that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy. 1ustrous:
GLOSSY, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
: If you want to keep your hair looking
rich. do by all means get rid OF dandruf
for nothing destroys the hair SO quickly.
1t not only starves the hair and makes
IT fall out, but It makes it stringy,
stragsiy. dull, dry. brittle and iifeless,
and everybody notices it. You can get
LIQUID arvon at any drug store. It IS m
expensive. and four ounces IS all you VIII
need. This simple remedy has never
been known to fail
