The Leathernecks chased Sandino through hundreds of miles of jungle; Many times they believed they had him in a trap, but he always got away.

The long hunt cost the Marines 130 lives and the United States millions of dollars. When the last Marine was withdrawn from Nicaragua in 1933, Sandino made his peace with President Sacasa. bmce then he had engaged, with 100 of his followers, in a co-operative farming venture, receiving $1,000 a month subsidy from the government.

United States senator from New York Former Commissioner of Bealtfi, Neto York City PERHAPS NO other branch of medical science has advanced as rapidly as that known as This is the study of the "endocrine glands" of the body. There are several of these so-called t- less glands, the most familiar being the thyroid gland. Most of us are familiar with enlargement ot the thyroid gland, producing what Triumphed tor Tiger Or. Copeland is known as "goi- We may be familiar, too, with other disturbances due to an Increased secretion of the thyroid substance. But few realize that certain important changes occur within the body when there is a decrease in the secretion of the thyroid gland.

More Common in Women This decrease or deficiency of the gland secretion leads to an unusual condition known as This is a disturbance found In adult life, but Is identical with an affliction occasionally seen In infants and known as Though myxcderaa may be found in males, it is more common In women, especially those beyond forty years of age. The actual cause of the disease has never been discovered but its ill effects are attributed to an actual decrease In the glandular substance of the thyroid gland. Unfortunately, the symptoms are often vague and misleading. For this reason, the disturbance is frequently overlooked or disregarded. The victim of this strange and disagreeable disease baa a dry and scaly skin.

The hair becomes coarse and brittle and rapidly falls out. Though the patient may not actually gain weight, his appearance Is deceiving and he seems to have added to his weight. This can bo explained by a swelling of the skin of the face and legs. Treatment Effective Not so long ago I told you about a special test known as the "basal metabolism You will recall that this enables the physician accurately to determine that there are disturbances of the thyroid and other Internal glands. When myxedcma is suspected, the diagnosis can be confirmed only by a basal metabolic test, the basal metabolic rate being markedly decreased.

It gives evidence of deficiency of function in the thyroid gland. Tremendous advances have been made in the treatment of this disease. It was only a short time ago that the sufferer could be offered any avenue of escape or beneficial form of treatment. Today as a result of our better understanding of the thyroid gland arid Its action it Is possible to combat and cure this affliction. This IB accomplished by the administration of thyroid extract This Is made from the thyroid glands of animals.

It Is a powerful medicine, stimulating the thyroid and other glands. But since it increases tbe work of the heart. It is Imperative that it be given only under the supervision of a physician. He will flrst give very small doses and gradu ally increase the quantity It It is fa vorably received. (CovuriaM.
