T. Y.-"What is albumin In

serious and what is the proper
procedure >"
AnSwer-Albumin is found In
great many kidney diseases
and is serious just in proportion
to the condition that is behind
il. In people over middle age it
is much more serious than in
young people because it means
Bright'S Disease. In general
albumin in the urine in young
people is not TO be regarded as
a serious problem. No treatment
by diet is of any value and the
most successful treatment has
been aimed at posture because
some doctors think there is a
slight deviation of the spinal
column. The albumin appears
only when these people are on
their feet longtime.

NOT ENOUGH FOR HER
And when was that enough
for a woman, if men did not

one day she told her mirror
so. Darn it," she was in
dignant over just such another
episode as one ef-the-mefe

You're IA woman, not

No. DO the internes ever

But the mirror had no

hastily bathed, redressed and
hurried home to her neat
little office where she carried
on her outside practice.
She hoped there would not
be many patients as she
wanted TO go to the monthly
get-together dinner and dance
of the hospital staff. This
little affair promo ted a

served to bring into the circle
