Confused Ideas About Goiter

By Harman N. Bundesen. M. D i People are often confused alwiut i goiter because they think of it as i a aingle. definite disease. The word < itself simply means an enlarge- I ment of the thyroid gland hut. as a matter of fact, there are several i kinds of these enlargements, some 1 much more serious than others, and all demanding different management. It is welt known that iodine is used in the treatment of goiter but most people do not realize that it la also helpful In deciding Just which type of goiter is present. New iodine is used by the nor mal thyroid in making the secretion which this gland forms. But. when iodine u given, the normal gland reacts to it very differently from owe which Is diseased. For this reason it is important in diagnosis During the first few hours of the administration of the iodine. tho> normal gland takes up the io Bine, but very little of it is stored Os course, the thyroid gland needs a small amount of iodine regularly In order that it may form its se- • cretlon In simple goiter, in which the oaly abnormal condition present is the enlargement of the thyroid t |snd the iodine is taken up and retained during the first 24 hours it is administered When, in add! tltm, there are toxi< symptoms, each an rapid heart beat iacreaaed sweating, nervousness, and irritability. the thyroid lakes up the iodise rapidly during the first four hours H to charges tt into the blood Becehtly. sedtooclive iodine baa toes explcryud tt Uo tmtewst of t „j t fgtter.

author says Hoosiers are noted for their interest in politics. "They play politics every day of the year , and in Leap Years, the game is extended over 366 days." Q- Q. Last week-end four persons were killed in an auto-truck eraah west of Fort Wayne and yesterday two more were critically injured, east of the city. Both groups were on vacation, presumably touring the c ountry in happy holiday mood It s a cruel break to have tragedies of this kind befall the people, but until we learn to check speeds or build new type highways that remove many of the hazards, newspapers will continue to relate the sad stories. It may not be as thrilling. but it is safer to remain on your front porch for relaxation. The rural recreational program that will be carried on. In this county beginning this fall, will open an avenue for rural youth heretofore not available to them. Dennis R. Norman of Bloomington, whom the trustees have employed to direct the program, has high qualifications for the post and will get the local program underway about October 1. The McMillen Foundation is contributing 311,000 over a two and one-half year period to assist in financing the program. The act ivlties should create keen interest among youth and be helpful to the boys and girls in building strong bodies, alert and clean minds. ——O 0 — Disappointment seems in store for those who have hoped that the Danube River conference in Bel grade might produce signs of Rus sian willingness to take a co-oper-ative attitude in arbitration with the Western powers. Opening ses sions of the meeting disclosed no Indications that Russia is inclined to make concessions to the West Russia is in complete control, by reason of the fact that all of the unoccupied nations touching the Danube are Russian satellites. It is only by reason of German occupation that France, Great Britain and the United States can claim any geographic interest in the Danube. With this prospect in view, it -would be surprising indeed if Russia should yield any significant points to the West at a conference easily controlled by the simple numerical majority of Soviet-dictat-ed votes. Leap Indicates Guilt Richmond. Va. <UP> — When police went to the home of Charles A. Miller. 18, to investigate a <harge of reckless driving, the youth leaped from a second story window. Justice Harold Maurice said that anyone that heckless must be guilty. He fined Miller flltr and revoked his driver's permit.

Other preparations useful in toxic goiter are thiouracil and propylthiouracil These drugs also reduce the activity of the thyroid gland and lessen the symptoms of the toxic goiter. In some cases, they will even bring about a care. However, in most instances, they are employed only to reduce severity of the symptoms and to allow building up of the patient so that operation for the removal of the thyroid gland may be undertaken with safety. When enlargement of the thyroid gland occurs, immediate examination by a physician is important to determine the cause of the enlargement; then the moot effective treatment can be carried out Questions end Answers E.
