there are plain signs, given o long time in ad-

them with its tiny hands. But the eager mother
is quick to discover there is something wrong

glands il just below the ~jawbone, in the tissues
of the neck. There may be a single lump Of
considerable size, or a number of smaller ones.
AS they are felt by the finger, it is found
