To the office of Dr. sE. A. Rosenberg, district diagnostician of the New York city department of health came a boy of l 3 years, small for his age, and Of poor muscular development. He had a distinct lateral curvature, of the spine, and a perceptfble degree Of myopia (short-sig sightedness}.
 Three years before. the boy lad shown on examination no spinal cur vature, and his vision was then nor mai. Meantime, he had been at school Was there a casual relation ship between that fact and his present condition? Dr.. Rosenberg's convic- ton is that just such a casual rela- tionship did exist in this case, and does in many others.
 He visited certain newly built schools in New York and noted att tentfve1y the conditions of seating and lighting. These schools he found equipped with desks and chairs ad- unstable for height, but none of the teachers questioned knew this fact, and no adjustment of the furniture had been made, such as to allow the smallest children to have the lowest desks in the front row.
 Bodies Twisted
 The teachers urged the children to s'sit ID straight while a photograph was being takens but Dr.. Rosenberg noticed that after moment in a strained, stfff1y erect position, the children relapsed into the accustoned slouch, bending to bring the eyes near to a book, or holding the feet and knees sideways for room and so twisting the body at the waist 4N
 Dr. Rosenberg followed his report of this investigation with the recon- mendations that teachers be required to make practical use of their knoWI- edge regarding proper posture; that the board of education issue orders to have seats adjusted at the opening of every term and as often thereafter as necessary that medical inspectors of schools extend their supervision to conditions which must create defect instead of only remedying the defects thus created.
 The physiological facts back of such results pr. Rosenberg gives as fol-- lows:

Here is good test worth try ing. First weigh yourself and measure yourself. Then take ISargol-one tab- let with every meaI-for two weeks Then weigh and measure again It isn't a question of how you look or feel or what your friehds say and think. The scales and the tape mea- sure will tell thezr own story and many thin men and women we believe can easily add from five to eight pounds in the first fourteen days by following this simple direction And best of all, the new flesh stays put.
 sargoI does not of itself make fat but mixing with your food, it aims to turn the fats, sugar and starches of what you have eaten, into rich, ripe fat producing nonrishrnent for the easily assimiIated form which the nourishment now passes from your stop the vast and do it quickly and to make. the fat producing contents of the very same meals you are eating now develop pounds and pounds of healthy flesh between your skin and bones. Sargo1 is. safe, pleasant, eff cient and inexpensive.
