NEW PLYMOUTH.
UN|TES SPEED
AND SAFETY

Walter P. Chrysler's 1885 Ply.
mouth models are on display at
the automobile show. Introduced
in six body types the new Ply
mouths, streamlined in design,
have added engineering develop
ments and we're announced by
Chrysler as revolutionary new
type high speed safety cars"
The 1885 Plymouth has an 81
horsepower engine, a torpedo type
all-steel body, syncro-silent trans
mission, a new ride achieved by q
redistribution of weight, plus a
new front spring assembly, float
ing power" engine mountings and
hydraulic brakes.
Fills Critical Need
Mr.. Chrysler in announcing the
new Plymouths said that it was
created to satisfy a critical need
in America at the present time for
safer transportation. He said:
Every indication points to
:. more automobiles on the streets
and highways in 1888 than at
any time since 1929. And the
automobiles of today are much
faster than those of six years
ago. They also must be safer"
The all-stee1 body of the 1885
Plymouth fits down over the
double drop X-type frame. The
floor has been lowered 3A inches
providing more leg and head room
for passengers. The Plymouth en-.
gine has been moved forward over
the front axle to slow down the
action of the front springs and
make more room for the larger
body. Plymouth passengers ride
between the front and rear axles.
improvements
Plymouth's new springs are of
. thin leaf design. Hydraulic
brakes have been improved. A new
Simplified system of ventilation
has been developed for the
Plymouth. Openings have been
built under the front seat to pro-
vide more complete circulation of
air in the car. The cowl ventilator
has been enlarged.
In the design Of the new
Plymouth the engineers have ap.
piled their extensive study of
aerodynamics. The car is stream
lined to resist wind pressure in
front and wind drag in the rear.
The Plymouth is presented in
six body types: the business
coupe, two-door sedan, de luxe
four-door coupe, de luxe four
door sedan, de luxe tWo-door tour
ing sedan and de luxe four-door
touring sedan. All models have
the same wheelbase, 113 inches,
the same engine with floating
power mountingS, the same clutch.
same transmission, same floating
ride" and the same hydraulic
brakes.

In addition to it's regular line
of straight eight and six cylinder
models Auburn has announced
six straight eight super-charged
models with a certified speed OF
100 miles on hour or more.
Each car carries a plate, certl-
flying it's 100 mile an hour speed.
Each car is checked and properly
broken in by the factory. The
new Super-charged Auburns are
built on a 127-inch wheelbase and
are powered with a Lycoming
straight eight engine that devel-
ops upward of $50 horsepower.

Public confidence in the Olds-

Body Dull and Flabby
When Thyroid Fails
Editor, Journal OF the American Medical Ass,
and Of Hygeia. the Health Margarine
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

Editor, Journal OF the American Medical Association.
and Of Hygeia, the Health Magazine
Never let your body 60 to extremes. Too much, or
too little. both are unhealthy. And that Is especially
true in the activity Of the thyroid gland.
I have already described the way in which over
secretion of the thyroid affects the system. Well
underactivity is just as dangerous.
Underactivity Of the thyroid is called myxedema
and cretinism. Under this condition, q person be-
comes cold. flabby. slow and dull. His body Is bloat-
ed with fluid. The skin is dry and everything about
the system Is torpid. The heart, also. becomes en-
larged and flabby.
Piled with the extra thyroid gland material that they
ought to have. and this can be given BY mouth.
When the right amount Is administered. the ef-
fects are striking. In a few days the patient feels
warmer, and begins to be alert. He Is able to talk
more fluently and to move his muscles more ac-
c~urately.
The fluid which makes his body soggy begins to
be excreted and the bloating disappears. His skin
becomes active. Sometimes the skin grows SO fast
that these people practically shed some Of 1t.
The hair, which has been brittle, becomes soft and
grows faster. Usually in two or three weeks the
patient tends to return to a normal appearance.
II, however, too much thyroid Is given, there is an
aching and tenderness in the muscles. the heart
speeds up and there may actually be pain Of the
type Of angina pectoris. Cases have been reported in
which the heart has collapsed. due to an overdosage
of thyroid material.
1t must be remembered that the heart has become
flabby and Doggy. due to the material which accumu-
lates as the result Of the thyroid deficiency, and that
time must be allowed for the tissues to return to
normal before pressure is put on the damaged organ
