RATS PROVE FEAR
BAD FOR HEALTH
Philadelphia Scientist Makes
Discovery,

PHILADELPHIA, July 12.-Fear
and nervous excitement affects the
health OF humans and retards
growth. according to experiments
conducted at the Wistar Institute of
Anatomy.
That happiness means health has
scientific basis" says DR.. Milton
j. Greenman, director Of the insti-
tute.
Rats have been tanned so that
they could readily be handled with
out fear. Experiments, on such rats
cause no Ill effect, whereas the same
tests on rats which were wild and
afraid during the experiment have
resulted in affecting the rats health
and even causing DEATH DR.. Green
man said
This is directly due to properties
Of several glands which are like the
glands of internal secretions in the
human, notably the typhoid or
throat glands. the pineal and supra
renal glands"
DR.. Greenman hopes by carrying
out the tests that the peculiar prop
critics Of the typhoid, pineal and
other glands may be definitely ascer-
tanned.
