SECRETS OF

YNHE thyroid gland may under

In fact, there are cases where
the thyroid gland itself is en-.
larged but the gland cells are so
squeezed and cramped in their
normal activity, that, as a result,
the general system does not re-
ceive the amount of thyroid
stimulation 1t requires.
When deficiency of thyroid
exists from birth the condition
Is known as Cretinism.
Cretins have q large. square
shaped head. Usually the nose In
broad, and flat. The eyes are
. separated widely. The lips are
broad, thick and protruding. The
mouth is large. The tongue also
is thick and broad.
The skin OF these people and
this is q prominent symptoms
decidedly dry, rough. wrinkled,
and often acaly.

Cretins may be OF such low
mentality as to be classed idiotic.
They may, however, be OF the
imbecile type or of q still higher
mental status, that of the moron.
When the thyroid gland be-
comes deficient in its secretions
after adulthood Is reached. the
condition is known as nayxedema.
This, at least, is a convenient
way of understanding the posi-
bilities of thyroid underseeretion.
In myxedema the hands and
skin In general become thick, dry
and Doggy. On the whole the
skin looks particularly Whitish
and there Is a tendency to scaling.
Often there is itching. Absence
of perspiration, even after physi-
cal exertion, Is noticeable.
From a mental viewpoint the
patient Is very sluggish. These
persons lose their enthusiasm,
their ambition and their initiative.
Sometimes even speech ID slow.
They walk and move about,
also. the way they think-in-
differently and lazily.
The treatment for all cases OF
thyroid undersecretion is, of
course, thyroid extract which Is
taken from sheep or hogs.
The way cretin can often be
improved with proper administra-
ton of thyroid ID little short of

John B. watson, the famous
psychologist, doesn't believe that
men will marry 50 years from now.
He'll tell you why In the June
number of the Cosmopolitan Maya
zine. You'll be surprised! And
maybe considerably bothered, for
he backs up his opinion with some
arguments which are hard to re-
flute.
To begin with he shows that
marriage liant something that j,
has to happen. like teething or
growing toe-nails and whiskers.
For q very considerable portion of
human history, marriage didn't
! happen at all. When it did, it took
on various forms now considered
decidedly de trop in polite society.
Polygamy, for example-polyandry
infant marriages-group wives.
All of these forms of marriage
had their root in some social nee
essity. Men took several wives be.
cause, under certain conditions,
there were more women than men.
Women took several husbands be-
cause under conditions, such as

bet, there were more men than
women.
