4 Too ActiUe
Thyroid
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

wv HEN the thyroid gland is
w ovsr-setlve "a, a train, G:1 Of symp-
toms appears which is quite
unmistakakle. The affected indi
vidual becomes very nervous, shows
a fine muscular tremor in the hands,
suffers from palpitation of the
heart, is abnormally irritable and
restless, flushes and sweats a-Rreat
deal, and is very easily upset by
excitement of any kind.
Slight enlargement Of tho gland
frequently occurs. If the disease
progresses the eyeballs may become
very prominent and the heart ex-
cessively rapid. while weakness,
emanciation and anemia follow in
due course. Moderate fever is an
occasional symptom. When the
thyroid activity passes all reason
able bounds and severe symptoms of
the sort just detailed supervene the
term Graves disease or eXoph-
thalmic goiter is applied to the con-
dition. The minor forms are
grouped under the general term
hyperthyroidism.
True Graves disease usually runs
a protracted course. extending over
many years. About 80 per cent of
the cases recover and many improve.
The disease is more common in
women than in men. 1t most fire.
quently develops around the age of
thirty to forty.
Regarding the causes OF this con-
dition, three great factors must be
taken into consideration. sirst,
local infections, like disease at the
roots of the teeth and in the ton
sls: second, fright and profound
emotional experiences involving
great strain; and third. hereditary
thryoid instability.
Bacterial intoxication (toxemia)
is the most common cause, and
therefore in the treatment careful
search must be made in the direc-
tion of the teeth, intestines, nasal
sinuses, gums, tonsils, gall bladder
and pelvic organs.

WESTWARD WITH THE PRINCE OF
WALES BY W. Douglas Newton. au-
thoriZed correspondent In America with
u. Il. II. the Prince OF Wales. New
York. London; ID. Appleton Company.
Much has been written OF the re-
actions of Canada--and OF the
United States-to the Prince Of
Wales. the engaging, democratic
young heir apparent to the great,
est throne in Europe, but it has
remained for w. Douglas Newton to
speak with authority of the Princes
reactions to the great Western con-
tincnt. He is well qualified to
write an account OF the Princes
tour, for he's a novelist and writer
Of recognized ability and his posi-
ton as special correspondent with
His Royal Highness throughout
the trip gave him uneXcelled OPP
portunity for observation from the
standpoint of the royal party and
of the public as well.
The book has the fault OF most
"authorized" volumes-it's almost
too official" 1t deals with the pub
lie aspects of the Princes tour, the
extraordinary welcome he was
given all along me line, the Of
fetal ceremonies arranged in his
honor. 1t tells OF the speeches he
made. but says nothing of the girls
he danced within Quebec Mon
treal and Toronto. in New York and
Washington. 1t strives to give an
impression of the essential "hu-
manness' of the young prince, but is
concerned mostly with the occasions
when he was too much on parade to
give free rein to that humanness.
However, the volume is written
in a picturesque and vivid style,
with flashes of humor. and on the
whole gives an interesting presen-
tation of an historic four. Of the
young man who made it. and Of the
royal welcome given him by an en-
tire continent.

Mrs. Asquith's statement in her
autobiography that beauty has

leading English painters and pho

tense OF the girl OF today.
"You had the 'beauties'-but we
have beauty" is their cry.
Philip de Lazzio, painter OF ia

that the women of today are not so
typical OF English beauty as they
were--but he attributes II all TO tho
rage for French fashions.
II do not think that English WON

were in the times that Mrs. Asauith
refers to-" said the painter. But l
do you think they are so typically

will preserve that peculiar dignity
and distinction which sets them
apart from the women Of other ma

DETRACTs FROM BEAUTY.
"The English woman. for in

mental women. She has a more
graceful and easier carriage, a bet
ter and healthier complexion. She
bears the marks OF a more open-air
life.
"Yet when she adopts the dresses

come them exceedingly well ll-she

vidual charms.

TT is in ways like this that fash

style of beauty was seen to the best
advantage.
"Neyertheless. am still of the
opinion that Mrs. Asquith is wrong
in her statement and ! do not be-
