"Isaac is exceedingly dangerous. He is a potential criminal or bad
man, or under the best conditions would at least marry and probably
become the father of defectives like himself."

This and the succeeding pictures in this volume contrast vividly with
the frontispiece. Terrible are the results when we disregard the
inevitable laws of nature, and so mate ourselves that our children will
be parasites on society.]

The After-Treatment of Pneumonia is important, and every detail
has a distinct bearing on the ultimate recovery and establishment of
good health. Careful feeding, a good tonic, and the proper attention to
exercise, fresh air and bathing are requisite. A change of air after the
fever is gone is more important than all other measures put together. A
dry, warm climate where patients can be kept in the open air is
preferable. The danger of allowing a slow, long drawn-out convalescence
after pneumonia is the development of tuberculosis.

ADENOIDS

Adenoids are very common, almost popular, in childhood. The condition is
one that causes more real trouble and discomfort than any other
childhood affliction. Adenoids are associated with, and are responsible
for, many of the ailments of childhood. They may be associated with
enlarged tonsils or they may be independent of them. They may be present
at birth or develop any time thereafter, though they are more frequent
between the ages of two and six years. Children who have adenoids
invariably suffer from chronic "head-colds" with a discharge from the
nose. These chronic colds are caused by the adenoids. Nearly every
disease, and every diseased, or abnormal, condition of the nose, throat,
larynx, and lungs can be directly caused by the presence of adenoids.
They are also responsible for numerous other conditions of very grave
importance in the growing child. The accompanying "head-colds" may
develop into a bronchitis which may keep the child indoors for a long
period. Adenoids always interfere with respiration, thereby depriving
the child of a normal quantity of oxygen, thus rendering the blood less
pure, and, as a consequence, seriously interfering with the nourishment
and general health. The impaired nourishment and poor health thus
produced, as a direct result of adenoids, renders the child m
