such functions as the distribution
Of the flow of blood, secretions of
the salivary and other glands
and many other purely automatic

Several Brains
In the skull we have several
brains, one of which is the cerebel.
lum, which also operates without
very much thought from US, to
maintain equilibrium and coordi-
nate our movements.
Another mass of old nerve tissue
that is prominent in certain lower
animals is the thalamus. Here a
great many instructive emotions
center such as appetite, love, fear,
desire and hate. The lower ami
mails, which have very large tha-
lami, have no real way of control
ling these fundamental emotions.
In man, the highest brain of all,
the prefrontal lobe, is connected
with the thalamus and can, to a
considerable extent, exert an in
fuence on it. The higher the indi-
vidual in the intellectual scale, the
more likely it is that he has a we'll
developed prefrontal lobe.
Results Of Surgery
Surgical methods within the
past few years have invaded even
this part of the brain-the seat of
the soul. Mental cases who are
afflicted with melancholia, with
bursts Of temper, those who are
unable to face the world as it is,
can be improved by having the
prefrontal lobe severed from the
rest Of the brain.
This leaves the individual good
deal of an animal, but it brings
about an astonishing improvement
in certain conditions such as mel
ancholia. Melancholics become
cheerful and stop their chronic
worrying. Other individuals who
have very arti-social tendencies in
many instances become free from
these manifestations and amen
able to discipline.
OF course, all results are not as
good as might be assumed from
seeing these statements put down
on paper, but in a series Of cases
studied by Doctors Freeman and
Watts Of Washington, D. c., about
80 per cent of the results of re-
nroval of the prefrontal lobes were
good; about so per cent were fair.
and the rest range from some
slight improvement to complete
failure.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
J. C.:-What are the symptoms
and treatment Of diverticulitis?
Answer: A diverticulum is sim
ply a sort of sac or pouch in q
mucous membrane. When it be-
comes infamed, it is called diverti-
CULTS. This may be in the throat,
gullet or stomach. Usually diverti-
CULTS refers to the diverticula
that are in the sigmoid part Of the
colon. When the inflammation Of
one of these is acute, it is some
thing like left-sided appendicitis.
1t will also cause chronic pain, in
digestion and alternately, consti-
patton and diarrhea. Treatment is
effective by medicinal agents il
the condition is mild and by surgi
cal interference when the condi-
ton is severe.

This talk of his being too old, he
insists, is nonsense" because he
drinks milk-four quarts of it a day.
A quart at 8 am. begins the day,
and others follow at four hour in
tervals-at noon, pm. and pm.
Regardless of the weather, he drinks
his milk warm.
Mr.. Satz began his milk diet In an
effort to overcome the i'll health
that had harassed him for years.
Because he felt too bad to eat, he
recalls, he decided to forego solid
food for few days. At the end of
that time he felt so much better
that he made up his mind to stick
to milk while longer"
Since then, he has never had a
cold, headache, or anything" he
recalled today.
Though he was heavy eater
before 1881, he never misses solid
food, water or the small amount of
wine he has also given up.
Last summer he was confined to
a hospital, but-fe explains-it was
for an operation he had needed for
