Treatment of Toxic Goitre

By Herman N. Bundeten, M. D. MOST people think of toxic goitre an a condition in which the thyroid gland overworks to produce far too much of its stimulating secretion. That in untrue, but the doctors today are coming to believe that the over-activity of the thyroid gland is only the most outstanding part of a much more widespread disturbance. In which many other parts of the body are involved. Doctor James H. Means of Boston. for instance, believes that other glands of Internal secretion — the body's chemical plants for making the powerful substances needed In the body's regulation — may also be affected. Eyes Are Affected In some cases of toxic goitre, the symptoms affecting the eyes overshadow all others and are even more troublesome and more marked than are nervousness, fatigue, loss of weight, or rapid beating of the heart. In such patients there may be bulging of the eyeballs, limitation of movement of the eyes, especially upward, double vision and retraction or drawing away of the lids from the eyeball. The eyelids may be swollen and the lining membrane over the eye reddened and inflamedThe eye condition may be so severe tut it results la tiemssaties of the coraea or the eyeball, scarring of the eye.

bacon will be plentiful starting thia week. He also says that meats of all kinds will be obtainable from now on Instead ot a shortage dur ing the next year U is predicted ’ there will be an over supply. o o ■ . The tomato crop In Indiana this year was the largest in history and the boat quality over produced and this alate ranks first for thia popular food pifaiuct. banners report that aa late as November <lb some tomatoes were still coming in and the plants i operating. They account for It by the dry weather during September. Usually October 10th marks the end ot the harvest for this crop. i O—O With only about half the desired Community Fund subscribed, the 1 leaders and their assistants are worried about the results. A few dollars given to this cause Is one 1 of the the very best investments you can muke. The money Is to be used to help those causes deemed moat worthy. If you haven't given, 1 please do so. If you have and can ' add a little to the amount subscribed that will also be appreciated. —-o o Don't cash your bonds now. Save them for the time when y<>u will need the cash more than you do at this time. They may not bring you the largest returns but they are safe and the best reserve you can have. This hi November 11th and the U. 8. treasury department is making an effort to I increase the sale of government , bonds. Production of goods is ex- | pected to increase the next year 1 and your bonds will buy much 1 more in a few months than they will now. o o— Stay of Arms It Is Just as well that the day which celebrates the end of World War I was called "Armistice Day." It was not the end of war, but merely a stay of arms. What will VE Day and VJ Day mean to the young people who will be middle-aged 2k years from now? Will this apparent peace be merely another intermission In the great game of war? Or can it be a real peace? For "Peace," as one wise man puts it, "Is not the absence of war. Peace is the Presence of Justice." Fairness. as among friends. is needed now. not suspicion, as among enemies. Justice, which gives to every man according to his deserts, k required. Nothing less than friendly fairness, nothing less than Justice, will avail the nations now. Will they work constantly toward those ends? Will they persist in laying the firm foundations of the structure of peace? If they will, life can move on toward greater glory and fulfilli moot.

and Inflammation of the entire i* eye. Dr. Means thinks that some b trouble with the pituitary gland -• located at the base of the brain * may be. In large measure, respon- . slide for the bulging of the eyes. * He believes, also, that in those r Instances In which the eye symp--1 toms are severe, removal of the ’ thyroid gland is inadvisable. He * suggests treatment with thyroid ’ extract on the theory that this will suppress the excessive action ' of the thyroid gland. He has found 1 that with this treatment Improve--1 ment occurs, although it is ’ brought about slowly. 1 in those cases In which the eye symptoms are severe and other symptoms such as nervousness are also present, treatment of the condition with X-ray may be ad--1 visable. Recently, these patients ' have been treated with what is known as radioactive iodine. This is iodine that' has been subjected to the rays In the cyclotron which Is a device in which atoms are shattered. When proper treatment of the thyroid condition is carried out. slow Improvement may be brought about or at least the disorder may be kept from progressing. However, the patient must be under constant care by the physician so that. It aUraiag symptesu develop. they nay ba pomstly Uk»o care of. t

The mines have been operated by the government since last spring, when they were seized to end a prolonged strike. Negotiations In the next few days probably will determine whether the union will call a coal strike Nov. 20; whether the government can turn the minis back to their owners soon; and whether the government must grant wage Increases to avoid a strike as winter nears.

CHAPTER FORTT WHEN THEY reached Fairton Craig waited while A boy went upstairs to say gocxiby to her father. Vai's door was shut. Abby did not knock on it She knocked on Wallace's door instead and Mrs. Hedden admitted her. She said. "He’s had a good nap and some nourishment ..and slipped away, smiling. Standing by the bed Abby made her report on Jay. He wasn’t in too much pain. She had talked to the nurse. It would take time, his were not young bones; but he'd be all j right Wallace listened, and said, ! “He’s to have every comfort, 1 told Dr. Lansing that; I'm telling you so that you'll see to It" He added, "You will come up, won't you, Abby?" She said, as she had to Craig, "I’ll have to talk to Barry." But she added, "Vai mighn’t like it j Father." “Valentine?” HU eyes were amused. “Why not?” "It's a fairly delicate situation, isn't it? After all, this is her house. She gives the orders." "It's mine." he said calmly, "and 1 give them. You won't be encroaching upon her privileges, my dear. You'll help me. Craig will be away, and Jay. That means I*ll need someone to take over in the ! gallery." "The gallery?" “he asked She had forgotten the public Thursdays. He reminded her, "Craig won't be here to look after visitors," he said. "1 hadn't thought of that. Why don't you withdraw the offer , . . now that you are III? People will understand. Besides. I thought, not many come." “They did nt first, mainly out of curiosity. But some, with a real interest still come. And they—however few—must be conducted through the gallery by someone who knows the paintings. Vai Is intelligent and has nicked up a considerable smattering, but even if she wished, she could hardly act as guide." Before she could answer he said "Talk It over with Barrv. then. I hope he will be amenable." see Abby reached home late In the afternoon, and the telephone rang shortly after she had washed the dust from her face and hands. It was Barry How was her father, and Jay?

The President's extemporaneous remarks before lice packed ampultheatre adjacent to the unknown soldier's tomb were broadcast here and abroad.

The President was accompanied to the cemetery by navy secretary James Forrests), i I secretary of war Robert P. Pattermm and his military aide*. A 21-gun salute boomed out as the President entered and left the shrine.

The drinks had come, and he lifted his glass. To us," he said. Abby tasted her cocktail, set it down. She said. ‘Father wants u.i to come out and live with him for a while." "My Lord, why? As protection against Vai?" asked Barry, amused. She explained: Craig’s holiday—at wriich Barry quirked an eyebrow; tlie notes for the book; the gallery. "Do you want it that way?" asked Barry. She locked at him, an open regard. "Not very much," she admitted. “Well then, heck, say na You have an excuse. ... I could come only week-ends. But I have to go through the motions of my job and besides, the law class." She said, "I don't see how 1 could stand it without you." "You don't have to. I don't get It, anyway." he said. "Sounds okay on the surface, I suppose. But—" Bhe said, tentatively, “Craig advised me to say no, too. He sai l you shouldn’t be exposed to Vai!" “He said that? Handsome of him," said Barry. "What a character." "He seems to thin., she’s ... an unexploded bomb," said Abby. "I've aeen ’em," eald Barry briefly, “and avoided ’em." She hesitated; then made up her mind, told him what her father had said of Vai and Craig. Barnlooked less astonished than she had expected. He remarked, n’tcr a moment, "Well, It's logical enough. Explains Emerson's solicitude for me. perhaps. Bomb exploded in HIS face." "If I don't -jo," said Abby, "Craig will think—" "What do you care what he thinks?" “1 don't." She lifted her chin All day she had thought of one phrase of her father’s; one he had not bothered to explain ... “I married Valentine to protect you.” he had said. From whom, from what? “Then," asked Barry, as their order came, “what's the matter with you? Write your father, say vou can't leave tow r~. and me." He grinned. -I'll beat you If you do Tell him that." She eald slowly, "You're out a good deal I'd see almost as much of you If 1 did go . . .* He put down his fork “What's this leading up to?" he demanded, “and besides, it isn’t true.,.. How about breakfast, and long before breakfast ?" She said, "Craig doesn't want me to go." "So you've said " T don't know about Vai , . • H wasn't discussed with her." He said, "Oh. for Pete's sake. Vai wouldn't care " "You knew her better than I do." said Abby. “What docs that mean?
