MR. LEA

must himself have realized the hopelessness of his condition under such handicaps, and would probably have cheerfully relinquished the mantle of Premiership had it been possible to obtain agreement among his aspiring successors.

Like BRowNINos hero in “Prospice," Mn. LEA was “ever a fighter." He gave hard blows in political combat, and took them for the most part in the same lusty spirit. He had experienced the ups and downs of public life, and was by no means wedded to the partisan creed which divides Liberals and Conservatives into incom-

party. He had the characteristics which dis-

Even the Issues of the election, in _so far as there can be any others than a weighing in the bal- ance of Mr. Roosevelt and his New Deal, are as yet doubtful. There nos seemed much reason to sup- pose that the revision of the Con- stitution might be the chief issue. The Republicans certainly have looked as if they wanted to make it such. Mr. Roosevelt has talked at times as if he would gladly take up such c. challenge. But not until after this session of the Court has concluded its work, or until both sides have discovered what they nan of public sentiment on the point, will even that matter be definitely settled. For the moment foreign observers would do well to do what Mr. Roosevelt invites Am- ericana to do, enjoy a welcome and overdue breathing-space so far as American domestic developments are concerned-Frank Darvall in The Fortnightly (London)

Italy has not even denied that the bombing of Red Cress hospitals is deliberate.

I have written before of e wonk done in Boston and other c ties in removinl the thyroid gland in the neck in very severe cases of heart disease. The juice of the thyroid gland acts as a sort of whip in making the processes of the body work more rapidly. It has been compared to the draft on a furnace in that it forces the food stufls to binn fiercely and create more heat and energy.

Naturally therefore the thyroid Juice increases the rate at which the heart beats because the heart has to pump more blood to all the processes and ‘ es of the body because they are working more rapidly.

By removing the thyroid gland the processes all work more slowly and as the heart does not have to work so fast or sohard, it gets a chance to rest more and does not fail or give out as it might other- wise do.

Similariy a number of surgeons have lately been removing the thy- roid gtand in severe cases of angina pectoris where the L‘ ‘vessels supplying the muscular walla of the heart have become partly blocked. The walls of the heart have not been getting enough blood to main- tain their strength and attacks of angina and heart failure occur. There have been cases o! angina pectoiis where the nerve from the spinal cord which tightens the little muscles in the blood vessels has been cut, thus allowing more blood to get to the heart walk. but the results of this operation, as a whole, have not been satisfactory.

Dr. T. C. Daviaon, Atlanta, Co., in southern Surgeon, states that. the removal of the whole thyroid gland- gives immediate and pro- longed relief in the majority of cases of angina pectoris, apparently be- cause the lower or slower rate at which the body processes work (with no thyroid juice in speed them up) has decreased the amount of work the heart has to do.
