Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Health Index of Children
A few years ago a child was considered in health so long as he did not show the familiar signs of disease. Even doctor's often failed to read the plain language of man.)7 physical defects because they had not been trained to do so. In most places it is still not custom ary to regard a child as unhealthy because his upper teeth are prominent, uncovered by his lip, and perhaps crooked. Yet every teacher, parent, and physician ought to know that such a picture presents almost sure signs of adenoids, and that no child with adenoids can be truly healthyfi Few school communities even now regard decayed teeth in a child as indicative of poor health, yet it is an incontrovertible fact estab lished by the highest authorities that no child or even adult with seriously defective teeth can possibly pos sess good health.
