A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA MALADJUSTED According to Herbert Spencer "Life is a continuous adjustment elf ititernal relations to external cundi- tions". It is obvious, then, that if we arc to succeed in life, we must be adaptable, or, in other words, we must acquire a capacity to- fit into life's situationswhether at home, at school, or at work» The new-born baby is dependent upon others for all his riteds He is endowed with the equipment which makes it possible for hien to make ad - Lim rr H lees FF 1014 *V.

Wr 'arr.�b" CArd1+0i justments, but he must learn how to use his natural capacities.'Education is a growth -process which finally brings into being an adult who has become independent and who is cap- able of making a satisfactory adjust- ment to the world in which he has to live. Just as we vary in degrees of phys- ical strength and'as our physical bod- ies differ one from the uther, so do we differ in our intellectual capacity. What becomes of us depends not so much upon our intelligence, but ra- ther upon how successful we are in the best of our intelligence. We all possess certain instincts. The instincts may be considered un- der three headings, the stimulus or situation which gives rise to certain feelings or emotions which, in term, are expressed in outward action. All have experienced the emotion of fear called forth by some object or sudden noise, which emotion finds expression in a quickening of the heart, pallor and, perhaps, flight. It is not desir- able to suppress the instincts because they are the driving forces to human activities. What we should seek is as to how we may direct the expression of our .emotions in a socially desir- able manner. For example, we must learn to endure a temporary discom- fort if by so doing we :nay gain a permanent satisfaction in the future. The child entering school has a dif- ficult time unless during his pre- school years he has learned to be one of a group, and to secure satisfaction in comradeship and in doing tlr,ings- well. The immature child who is still. emotionally a baby will want to retain in school, the centre of the stage which he holds at home. He will want his mother because he has not Wm. become independent of her emotoin- ally. He may be "smart" or may mis- behave to gain attention if he is starv- ed of affection at home. The worst type, because his condition is poten- tially the most serious, is the quiet, so-called "good" child, who is a. sczlir tary individual living within hi.'rnself:, Parents can help their children to, a healthy mental maturity by giving - them understanding and'.leatie_rbl;ip to-. wards independence.

So for persons over thirty it is just as smart and butes ness-like to plan to enjoy good health as it is to plan to enjoy a goof] income. And it's just as much a matter of plain common sense to Check up on yourself. ' In health, your shortcomings are, at first, likely to be those annoying, not -exactly -well feelings. At such tines, if your blood were tested, it would most likely be found "low in count". This means a shortage of ted corpuscles and the corpuscles themselves' short of haenmoglobin. Mate up this double shortage, and you'll.. come upto normal health again, Neglect it and serious results' niay follow. Observing, in his practice. the importance of keeping the vitality of the blood no to normal, a Canadian authority originated a blood - building preparation which has been helping run-down people back to health for nearly half ti century, This preparation, now known the world over as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, elefinitely increases the blood "count" in the majority of cases, thereby restoring vitality, steadying nerves, irnpartin' strength and toning tip the whole sYs- teni. So the person over thirty who finds good Health slipping, is well advised to take at least a 30 -day treatment of this excellent remedy. The element of chalice has been praetleally 'eliminated in such a treatment, beeause tests recently made by an authority in a clinic of 40 people,proved concltsiveln by individual blood "count" that l;)r, Williams' Pink Pills certainly improve the health by enriching the blood. li't11 size bet 5Oe. $3� n n n n d, INA '.n IN, yt a d 4 4 ✓s
