BARCLAY ON BRIDGE
A GORGEOUS PLAY
ONE OF THE most gorgeous
of unusual plays is that whereby
you shorten your own trumps by
ruffing so that you can later use
the dummy’s then.,longer trumps
to obtain a discard of a blocking
card in another suit. This form of
rare maneuver, which ranks with
any "coup” in the game and re
quires just as far-visioned fore
sight, has never possessed a name,
so far as we know, but is surely
entitled to one.

Doctor Was Wrong!
It is possible we think too much
about our health and even too much
of what doctors say about it. 1
note in the paper that in Oneida,
in upper New York state, a man
was rejected in 1862 as a Civil war
recruit because the doctor thought
he was too sick. He died the other
day near the age of 100.
QUESTIONS FROM READERS
M. H.: “(1) Is thyroid disturb
ance hereditary? (2) Is operation
the only cure for exophthalmic
goiter when it is of long duration ?
(3) Is thyroid extract benefiqij|ljin
a case of myxoedema
tient is near fO'yearfflftihd mfetap.|ly
normal? (4) Is thyroid extract
beneficial to a cretin nearly 30
years old who seems mentally nor
mal, if this person also has diabe
tes insipidus of long standing ? (5)
If a baby weighs nine and one-half
pounds when born, and twenty-one
pounds at five months, is he liable
to have thyroid disease, being re
lated by blood to the above people?
Would medication or treatment
help him now?
Answer: (1) No. (2) Israel
Brahm believes that all cases of
exophthalmic goiter can be cured
by treatment without operation.
(3) Yes, thyroid extract is benefi
cial in cases of myxoedema, and
nearly all patients are elderly. (4)
If a person is mentally normal, he
is not a cretin. The question is too
complicated for reply by corre
spondence. (5) The question is too
complicated for reply by corre
spondence and should be referred
to 3 physician.
