W. R. H. RoUinsonWliitaker (171) supports this view, and says : I am sure there is a relation 77 more than a mechanical one between facedevelopment and adenoids, more likely throughthe pituitary body than through tiie thyreoid,but probably both. H. Ewan Waller (166)gives an excellent account of the physiologyof the thyreoid secretion, especially in its rela-tion to dentistry. He believes that contractedarches are due to muscular action on bones.
