THE DUCTLEsS GLANDs-(CsaCa)
The Thymus

THE DUCTLESS GLANDS-(Cent'A)
The Thymus
The thymus gland Is located behind
the upper part Of the sternum and In
front Of the trachea. It becomes
partly atrophied after puberty. It's
functions are not thoroughly under.
stood. but it undoubtedly produces
one or more hormones having some
influence upon the sexual glands and
upon the formation Of the blood, cs-
pecially the lymphotcytes.
Children with enlarged tonSilS,
adenoids and nasal catarrh most fire.
quently show an enlarged thymus.
They are often fat and regarded rs
healthy, but the skin is pale and the
flesh flabby. They have little resist
ance to infectious diseases. and may
die suddenly during q period Of slight
excitement.
If the enlargement Of the thymus
exists after puberty, the male re-
sembles the female type. and the fe-
male Is under -developed. The dis
tribution Of fat about the body Is
abnormal. The bones may be either
longer or shorter than the average.
The enlarged thymus can usually be
determined by the X-ray or percus-
sion. It may become 80 large as to
cause s~uffocation.
The diet suitable is similar to that
which I outlined for enlarged tonsils
or catarrh.
Pituitary Glands
The pituitary glands, although .
very small two-lobed body located In
the skull cavity just underneath the
brain, exerts a profound influence
upon growth ana metabolism. It IS
divided into two distlGct lobes. an
anterior and a p~0sterior. each Of
which has q definite function. The
removal of this gland causes death.
An under functioning Of this gland
produces a very obese individual re-
sembling a fat boy. while an excess
sive secretion produces an enlarge
ment of the hands. feet and lower
jaw. and an increase in height. Cir
Gus giants are usually affected with
an excess of pituitary secretion. It
is generally admitted that the front
lobe exercises most influence on the
bodily growth. and the back lobe up
on metabOlism.
The Pineal Gland
Before adolescence the pineal
gland, a small reddish body located in
the brain, is an important organ Of
internal secretion. It was formerly
believed to be an evolutionary EN-
nant. analogous with the third dorsal
eye found In certain reptile types.
The pineal gland retards the too
early onset of puberty. An increased
secretion causesa diposity and delayed
puberty. A lack Of secretion causes
precocious development and an un-
usually early onset Of secondary sex
ual characteristics.
The Spleen
Although the largest Of the ductless
glands, the exact purpose Of the spleen
is unknown. It is somehow connected
with the manufacturing Of white blood
cells and the reorganization Of worn

Parity Isn't Complete

Milton Bronncr, London correspondent for this news
paper. points out that there are two clements in the
~Anglo-Amer.can naval situation that are not generally
understood. although naval men recognize them as OF
great Importance.
These elements are merchant steamships and airplanes.
England has a tremendous preponderance Of steamers.
many Of which. in time Of war. could be quickly trans
formed into very efficient commerce raiders. The United
States, on the other hand. is vastly superior in naval air.

Thus, in two important items, the two nations are far
from parity. No agreement between the two governments
will be worth very much II 1t docs not take these two
points into consideration.

Vernian was torn from his mothers

the time his mother scratched scars

and the son was sent to Americ: to
be reunited with his mother.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Mouth Ulcers

Question: q. F. writes: please
tell me what to do for ulcers in the
mouth. The tonics from doctors only
seem to give temporary relief, and
the ulcers return in only a few
weeks after getting rid of them."
Answer: Chronic mouth ulcers
come from a similar condition which
occurs in your stomach, and Is due to
wrong habits of eating which produce
an over-acidity of the gastric juice.
The ulcers may be expected to return
periodically until you learn to correct
the hyper-acidity Of your stomach.
Producing Foods
Question: D. G. asks: Are onions
and dried beans healthful foods, and
what do you think of cabbage?"
Answer: Raw cabbage can be used
In small quantities by most people in
good health, but when cabbage is
cooked for very long the sulphur
compounds are liberated so that it Is
q gas-producer. Cabbage shredded
fine and steamed for five minutes
only may be used by some people
without harmful effects. I never rec
0mmend onions or dried beans to my
patients because of the fact that they
always produce flatulencc.
Sciatica
Question: d. w. A. asks: what
would you think best to do for sciatic
rheumatism? The party In question
has been in bed close to four years
with It. He Il now on . milk diet"
Answer: What Is call 'sciatic
rheumatism" may be due to an in
flammation Of the sciatic nerve, and
caused by rheumatic toxins; or, the
nerve may be pinched some place be-
tween where its branches emerge
from the lower spine. An osteopath
or c~hiropractor could quickly correct
the trouble II 1t is caused by pinched
nerves. and q diet to cure rheuma-
tism would bring about a cure of
the trouble II it Is caused by the
rheumatic toxemia.
