Cure the Sore
/ European mothers in New Zealand are often alarmed because of enlarged glands in children. They often occur because of septic drainage from a sore, in the groin from feet, in the arm-pit from hands and arms. Cure the sore and the gland heals too. They often happen in the neck, or from infected scratchings in lice-ridden heads. More commonly the neck glands are upset from decayed teeth or septic tonsils. These should be looked to, and the glands will settle. Some infectious diseases upset neck glands-measles for example. Sometimes no apparent cause can be found. Then the treatment is to sunbathe the enlarged glands as often as possible, give codliver or halibut oil daily, and see that the child is on a properly balanced diet -full of vitamins and minerals. Ultra Violet light treatment will help in winter time when sunshine is scarce. (Next week: "Thoughts of Spring," by Dr. Muriel Bell.)
