Says Treatment May Help the "Curing" of Criminals Dr. Margaret Patterson Tells Kiwanis Club of Some of Her Experiences in Women‘s and Morals Court in Toronto. Interesting "Ladies‘ Night" at Kiwanis Club on Monday Medical treatment to control the thymus gland might have a great deal to do with the "curing" of criminals, Dr. Margaret Patterson, formerly maâ€" gistrate of the women‘s and moral police court in Toronto told the Kiwanis cliw on Monday evening. Millions of dollars have been spent inquiring into the causes of cancer, tuâ€" berculosis, diphtheria and other disâ€" eases, she> said, yet there has not yet been any scientific investigation into the cause of crime in Canada. A "treâ€" mendous reduction‘"‘ in crime would be sure to follow such a treatment, with a consequent saving to the Canadian taxâ€" payer in the costs of maintaining police, courts, and jails, she believes. Girl_Stole Glittering Objects She told the story of a girl who had appeared before her in the Toronto court; she had been found stealing from a store and later took a detective to her room where she had laid out the articles she nad stolen in the past. All were bright and glittering. All fher life she had been attracted to these glitterâ€" ing things and had not ‘been able tc resist the impulse to steal them when the opportunity came. In a careful inquiry into her early life it was found that her mother, in order to quiet her, had simply hung a diamond ring beâ€" fore the child, just out of reach. The desire for glittering Oobjects beâ€" came a fixation with the young woman, and from that fixed desire of her younger days, the girl had developed into a thief who had no control over her desire. The thymus gland had been found to ‘be at fault in this case, Dr. Patterson told the Kiwanis. It had not shrivelled as it should have when she attained more mature years, but had continued as a large, healthy gland,. feeding the blood a "hormone" that so affected her reactions that she satisâ€" fied her craving for glittering by stealing them. _ Medical Treatment Removed Desire Medical treatment was given; there was no surgery, no pain ofâ€"any kind;« medicine did the trick of reducing the thymus to its proper size and function. The girl was cured.. She lost her desire to steal and in Dr. Patterson‘s experiâ€" ence, never appeared in court again.
