 Intellectually, these people vary enormously, depending upon 



which of the other glands will enlarge to compensate far the defi- 

 ciency of the thyroid. If the growth of the skull has left a roomy 

 Ua turcica for the pituitary to grow in, the intellect may be 

 normal or even superior, though energy is below par. If tie 

 not possible and the adrenals have to predominate, a lower, i 

 animal and less self-controlled type of mentality is produe 

 In direct contrast to the sub-thyroid types is he who originally 

 s hyperthyroid. During childhood he is quite healthy, thin, 

 but striking robust, active, energetic, generally fair-complexioned 

 with nose straight and high bridged, eyes rather "poppy," 

 xcellent, regular, firm, white with a pearly translucent 

 enamel. These children ave always on the go, never get tired, 

 require little sleep. Seldom will one of the classical ehildr 

 diseases strike them, measles perhaps, but no other. Adolescence 

 for them, however, is more apt to be stormy and episodic, adjust- 

 ment to the new world of people and things is much more difficult, 

 wanderlust is acute. All an expression of cells keyed up, charged 

 with energy that must flow somewhere or explode. 



The ruddy live-wire, recognized everywhere as bubbling with 



vitality, the life of any group, the magnetic personality may, 



however, be shocked by some seismic event like the death of a 



r or mother, or the ruin of some cherished ambition. A
