could detect no physical signs Of

After many months she presented
indications OF thyroid gland en-

What is the cause Of exophthalmic

diet be of much value in the treat

This is not the first case of ex-
ophthalmic goitre that has simulat-

The fact that case of exoph-
thalmic goitre may so closely re-

gives a hint of the cause of this
type of goitre. The term "exoph-
thalmic" refers to the prominent.

theless a frequent condition even
without ezophthalmos-an more
interest, too. than Hamlet without
the melancholy Dane.
One'of the important functions of
the thyroid gland. which gland is
affected in the various kinds of
goitre. is the production OF an in
ternal secretion (some substance or
ferment or element given of from
the gland into the blood stream
which may be likened to the igni-
ton spark in the internal combus-
ton engine. the thyroid secretion

disease states due TO bacterial in

the rate Of human combustion or

throws a greater burden on the

Chief Justice Floyd E. Thompson of the I'LL

being doomed for governor. The state of
Illinois would be the gamer if it secured as its
chief executive a young man OF his capacity

rejected at the polls. The answer is that he

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Roy Athlete,

Ny boy. aged 1s. is enthusiastic
over athletics and wishes to be a
runner. But often after running
he becomes sick at his stomach and
has cramps in his legs. There
comes a swelling aroun-i his stom-
ach, and after that he vomits bile,
Then the cramps leave his legs and
he feels all right again. =.
MI.
Answer-Of course I can form no
opinion without having examined
the boy. but it may be that he over
taxes his heart in running. Boys
going in for athletic prowess re-
ouire the best medical supervision
throughout their training. and en-
danger their hearts il they attempt
training without such supervision.
B Wins the Red Flannels.

pendicitis. By says he is not apt
to. R G.

pendicitis.

mace.
