There should be an annual gain
in height varying from two inches
in the sixth year to nearly three
inches in the eighteenth year.
There should be an annual in.
crease in weight varying for girls
from four pounds in the sixth
year to nearly fourteen pounds
in the sixteenth year, which is
the year of their maximum
growth. For boys, the normal In
crease Is from four pounds in the
sixth year to nearly eleven pounds
in their thirteenth year, which is
their year of maximum growth.
The growth of your child should
be carefully watched and a record
kept Of height and weight, both

II the growth is not what 1t ought

about It.
He will look for the cause and
probably find it in one or more Of
the following conditions:
There may be insufficient food,
not so much in bulk or weight as
in the elements of nutrition suit
able to the growing child.
Or the food may be good and
yet be made, if not worthless, yet
Of less than full value by stomach
and intestinal disturbance caused
by boiling the food or eating at
all kinds Of odd times.
Or the child may play too hard
or work too hard, thus exhaust.

food and that ought to go to
building up the bodily structures.
Or the child may be permitted
to keep bad hours. resulting in
scanty sleep, much Of which is
required to conserve the energy
and make muscle, bone and other
tissues.
Or there may be focal infection
that I have talked so much about
by which poisons from bad teeth,
worse tonsils and even worse
adenoids are absorbed into the
system.
Or there may be a defect in
some of the glands of the body,
such, for example. as the thyroid
or pituitary, which have much to
do with growth and stature.
Or there may be beginning dis.
