pancreas, shaped like a
pollywog, lies just back of the
stomach. It serves a dual function.
It secretes a daily pint and ajhalf
of digestive fluid which it pours into
the small intestine. More vital, the
gland secretes minute quantities of
another substance which it emp-
ties directly into the blood stream.
This is the hormone insulin.
Insulin is manufactured by tiny
“island” cells, each independent of
the other. The average pancreas,
small organ though it is, contains
from 750,000 to a million and a quar-
ter of these islet cells. The insulin
they secrete governs the body’s
utilization of sugar. When adequate
insulin is present, sugar is burned
rapidly into energy. When it isn’t,
the body wastes away and the suf-
ferer lives constantly with an un-
quenchable thirst, an unappeasable
hunger. Poisonous matter resulting
from the incomplete utilization of
fats accumulates in the blood. So
does unburned sugar. If the condi-
tion goes unattended—if insulin isn’t
given by hypodermic—coma and
death follow.

Getting Enough Vitamins
Not Always the Answer
A serious lack of vitamins results
In so-called “deficiency diseases.”
Pellagra is caused by a lack of
nicotinic acid and other vitamins
of foe B group. Not enough vitamin
C causes scurvy. These are serious
diseases that may end in death. It
is easy to see why a diet so low in
vitamins that it allows these dis-
eases to attack people is called
“inadequate.”
But that is not the whole story.
Another kind of trouble is caused
fay a lack of vitamins. This is
called “latent deficiency.” This
means simply that while the individ-
ual may be getting enough vita-
mins to prevent “deficiency dis-
eases,” he still may not be getting
enough for buoyant health.
Latent deficiency is dangerous
because it has few easily recog-
nizable signs. Perhaps your eyes
take a long time to recover from
the glare of oticoming headlights;
perhaps on entering a movie theater
you have to grope your way to a
seat, apparently half blind. If so,
your diet is probably lacking in vita-
min A. If you are troubled with
constipation and chi- nic dyspepsia,
trifling aches and pains or “that
tired feeling,” the chances are
that you are not getting enough vita-
min B.

at Midway Island. He’s OK.
