DR.. Arnold Lorand, Of Austria,

At 4 recent medical convention in
Chicago, DR.. Roy Upham, President
Of the American Institute of Home

intimate connection of the nervous
system with the glands, many suf-
ferers from nervous disorders were

glandular treatment. He further
stated that this glandular treatment
could be taken by mouth like any
other medicine, and that an opera
ton is not necessary.
