Adenoids


The following correspondence
may be of interest:
II have read what you said about
adenoids, and children's health.
Take the adenoid child to the coun-
try. give it plenty of milk and lots
of ground. Keep them off the city
streets. and they will have no ade-
noids. Let the half-fed child live
in the country. You will have
happy. healthy children. instead of
poor. delicate city children which
doctors treat by operation"
1t would be highly desirable TO
take all the "half-fed children OF
the city" and send them ito sthe
country and give them plenty of
fresh milk and lots of ground.
Unfortunately, this can be done
only in a limited number of in
stances. and many children will be
obliged to grow up in the cities.
However, country children have
adenoids to about the same extent
as city children.
The city boy has the advantage
over his country cousin in having
better facilities for the removal of
adenoids."

How To Keep
Yourself Well

Bunions
The bunion is an expression of
the spreading OF the anterior part
Of the foot, many times due to a
short shoe.
In treatment, strapping the foot
Just back of the joint or bandaging
1t will many times correct the
bunion by correcting that fiattened
anterior arch. -
A prominent orthopedic surgeon
has just made the following addi-
tional suggestions:
1T may be OF help TO know that
in the many cases which we had
overseas, that the entire emphasis
In the treatment was put upon the
proper balance of the body. Prac-
tically always the f~iat-footed man or
woman stands with the body relaxed
so that the weight is thrown upon
the feet with the muscles out OF
balance.
"Once the body is held erect,
while the arch may still remain low,
the muscles are in such balance that
they will easily carry the strain. Sc
that the foot will cease to be trou-
blesome."
