A frequent visitor to Tucson, Dr. Graham was retired from 38 years of missionary work in China.He was professor of the West China Union University at Chengtu, Szech-wan, and director of the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Chengtu for called the endometrium. Normally this lining first thickens then sloughs off as a woman goes through the menstrual cycle. It then thickens again.

However, sometimes this curious tissue appears in the abdominal area. It may attach to the ovaries, bladder, Inner abdominal wall, bowel. How it does so is not understood. But it happens often enough so it is a fairly Do as the "natives" do common condition. many years.

This, however, usually soon passes away into normal activity. But since, understandably, girls (or very young women) are concerned about such things, I want to make it clear that endometriosis is one thing they can com pletely forget about. It occurs (if ever) only after a fair number of years of the menstrual cycle.

In many cases administration of certain hormones is an adequate solution. In extreme cases, removal of the ovaries is advisable. This, of course, puts an end to any possibility of pregnancy, so it is not a step to be adopted lightly.

one important reason for careful observation and treat ment is that this disease is one of the causes of infertility in women, even if there is apparently no blockage of the route by which the ovum travels.
