-Hy little chap is six years old and highly nervous and eXcitabfe; easily irritahed and just as easily made to laugh He was always of a sunny, splendid disposition. Lately. I find him dreamy-loolzsng. He is forming habits such as biting his nails, always shrusging one shoulder and stretching his neck, back or front; and he seems to want to overcome the habit and says he forgets.

 Answer-Much has been learned in recent years concerning the glandular system of the body, particularly the glands of internal secretion. It is now known that these glands control in a measure, the physical and mental growth and development of the body and it's health. They should work in harmony. If they do not then abnormal conditions prevail Tn the case of your little lad there is dys- function. When one of these glands is either under or over-active, all the others are affected. It is not always possible to determine which gland is principally affected.
 The use of glandular extracts as medicines is increasing It is called '-G1anduFar Therapy." This line of treatment must be considered exper1- mental and should supplement-, not suppIant, other treatment. Probably this boy has an insufficiency of some glands. There is probably also an insufficiency of minerals in his sys- tenn If so, medication based on the ghandu1ar theory should be given him. This can only be done by the family physician and you are on no account to attempt to apply it yourself. There is no doubt that the scarlet fever of a I7eaS r1rodiSr,0ca6 the hnvS
