: EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D, "THE THYROID GLAND which lies at the base of the neck is one of the most impor-=-tant -glands- of internal secretion, It produces a hormone which influences the general

health, the ’ rate of growth, r J x the speed of ’ 4

the heartbeat, and many other functions of - the human body. This column is devoted to the underfunctioning of the gland with a lessened production of its most important hormone. When the thyroid fails ‘entirely to manufacture its hormone in infancy and early childhood, the result is a tragic condition known as cretinism. A cretin does not grow normally, and is seriously underdeveloped. The brain of a cretin | also fails to mature normally,

Dr, Jordan

x ” = 5 IF THE DIAGNOSIS of this + condition can be made early enough, thyroid extract ob-

tained from the glands of ani- + mals can. be given as a substitute for the normal hormone, and this will bring about good results, Fortunately, cretinism is rare In most parts ‘of the world, and is most common only in certain regions of the Swiss Alps. A complete absence of the formation of the thyroid hormone in grown-ups results in a condition known as myxedema which is also not common. Indeed, a person who has a metabolism of minus 25 may not have a true hype-thyroid-ism, as the condition is called, and may not benefit from thyroid tablets. In such cases the doctor has a hard time deciding whether thyroid: tablets should be given or not, and it may be necessary to try them in various doses, and observe the effects before any decision can be reached.

~ - » THE ANSWER to this very interesting question is that their play was decidedly improper for two reasons. : First of all they were using a

_ “private” convention, because

their method of melding conveyed information to the partner without giving it to the opponents at the same time. In other words, if one of them

The reason is that this convention conveyed information by the order in which the cards were put on the table. Theoretically, a meld is put on the table all af®once. If you are allowed to convey information by the order in which you play cards it is only oné step further to the point where you are allowed to convey information by the manner in which you play and just one more step to where you actually show your hand to your partner.
