SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch-

When q child suffers from
hydrocephalus the skull is
markedly enlarged, while in
microcephalus it is much di-
minished in size. While, how
ever, the two conditions are
strikingly opposite in appear
ance, their respective causes
cannot in any way be COM
pared one with the other.
It Is known that hydrocepha-
lus is due to an increase Of the
cerebro-spinal fluid inside the
membranes and cavities of the
brain.
The average head circum.
ference of male babies is 1890
inches while that of girl babies
is 1882 inches. These measure
ments are taken around the
temple.
In hydrocephalus it is not
uncommon, as the child grows,
for the head circumference to
be as much as 20 to IS inches.
Microcephalic heads are less
than normal by several inches.
Curiously enough, it does not
follow in the case of hydro
cephalus individuals that the
larger the size of the skull
and therefore the greater the
pressure on the brain-the
lower the general intelligence.
. Indeed, although as a rule a
condition Of water on the
brain" renders an individual de-
fective mentally, there are cases
OF hydrocephaluS where no such
mental defects exist.
In cases where the increased
pressure causes mental impair.
ment it may be so severe as to
amount to imbecility or even
idiocy.
The eyesight and hearing
may also be affected. Convul-
Sions are not uncommon. Oc-
caSionally, in some cases, partial
or complete paralysis of the legs
is to be found.
In disposition the hydroceph-
alic is obedient. quiet, docile
and affectionate.
Microcephalics not only have
an unusually small skull but the
scalp is thick and in folds. the
hair is coarse, and the chin is
receding.
They are given to mimicry a
great deal and are very affec-
tionate and obedient. They are
alert and rather, vivaciouS.
Mothers should watch the So
called "holes in the head" of
the baby. These are the
fontanels which specialists in
quire about when the mentality
of a child is in question.
If a fontanel remains open at
the end of the second year an
abnormality must be considered
and it may be hydrocephaluS.
If the fontanel closes prema-
turely microcephalus is a pos
sibility.
Mothers are usually fearful Of
touching the head where the
