Iodine in the Human Body.

NJ. Bourget has detected the presence of
iodine not only in the thyroid glands, but
also in the blood and in nearly all the or
gans of the human body. Plants absorb
iodine from the soil, to which it is brought
by the underground waters; herbiyorous
animals take the iodine in with their
food, and man, in his turn, takes it in with
the flesh of animals. 1t is eliminated from
the human body through the sweat, in the
cuttings of hair and nails, and with the
eXcreted blood. etc.

nearly 100 years old, had to fight their
way back to Fort LeavenwOrth in the
