 Growing Pains
 Our three- -year-old child cries with pain In the legs some nights and we have to rub the legs to re- lieve the aching. His health Is gen. orally fine. Is this "growing pains" or might 1t be from getting tired out playing too hard? (E. E. S.)
 Answer You may be sure 1t never hurts to grow. Fatigue might explain the pain. Toxemia -sorne times causes such complaint-espe- cially toxemia from infected tonsils. possibly the fore-runner of infec- tious arthritis (rheumatic feve.) from infected tonsils. In some cases the child's calcium deficiency ap- pears to be the cause of such leg ache-at least 1t ceases after the child is given a daily ration of cal- cium and vitamin D to supplement- the regular diet.
