 WILMINGTON, Nov. 30-Meager re- ports received here this evening indi- cate that twenty persons have been killed by an explosion of large quan- tity of powder in the yards of the Du pont Powder Company near this city. The first reports were received here shortly after two this afternoon and the officials of the company living in this city departed for the plant at once. From such reports as have reached here 1t is indicated that the explosion is the result of causes of sinister aspect and there is every indication that outside agencies are responsible. The greatest excitement and confusion prevails at the plant and the employees are re- ported badly frightened because of the unusual prevalence of such explosions in all parts of the country.

years to come, but also pretty sure to pay

Is Golfer Curable?

!THERE is wide diversity of opinion
as to the cause of goiter. Many locate
the seat of the disease in the heart
itself, in the blood vessels, and in the
blood; others, who favor the so-called
mechanical theory" ascribe the symp-
toms to compression by an enlarged
thyroid gland of the nerves and vessels in
the neck, although they neglect to tell us
how the gland became enlarged.
Other competent medical authorities
believe that goiter is essentially nervous,
originating in some disturbance of the
rambling pneumogastric nerve Tor vagus),
or of either the sympathetic or central
nervous system. In fact, the whole ques-
ton is very hazy and indefinite.
We know, however, for a certainty that
the pathological basis or actual origin of
goiter is disturbance in the function of
the thyroid gland. But whether this is
due to water deficient in inorganic salts
las many claim, to nervous shock, injury
to the thyroid gland, constitutional dis
eases, defective metabolism, or what not,
is not known.
We know only that the rapid heart
action and palpitation. the distressing
tremor, the unsightly swelling in the
lower part of the neck, the protrusion of
the eyeballs, and the nervous excitement
accompanying gOiter-particularly that
form known as eXophthalmic goiter
extremely difficult to cure. Sometimes
the surgeon removes a large portion of
the goiter-not all, because it has been
found that complete removal is usually
attended with grave changes in the mental
or the physical equilibrium.
The cure of goiter is-or was-equally
uncertain. say was advisedly; for if
the recently discovered therapy"
of DR.. William FitzGerald of Hartford
Connecticut, is found to be all its discov-
erer claims for it, "zone-therapy" bids fair
to supersede all other methods.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-10-10

Briefly, DR.. FitzGeralds method con-
sists in stimulating the nerve centers-or
"push-buttons in the zone in which the
trouble is located. This is accomplished
by passing blunt steel probe, the point
of which has been still further bunted
by being wrapped in cotton, through the
nostril, and causing pressure at a point
on the vault of the pharynx, por-
ton of the cavity in the head where the
nose ends and the mouth begins, --which
pressure is reflected as metallic SEN
sation in the region in which the goiter
is located
This pressure is maintained for several
minutes at time, night and morning.
To assist in the treatment. the patient,
several times daily, congresses firmly the
second joint of the thumb, which is To-
Gated in the zone running up the center
of the body, including, of course, the goi-
ter region, pressing on each thumb alter
nately. This seems to stimulate the normal
functional activity in the first zone."
In the past fifteen months DIR. FitzGer-
aid has treated in this manner twenty-one
eases, many of which were of pronounced
exophthalmic type. with protruding eye
balls, unsightly enlargement of the thy
roid gland, rapid heart action, and all the
manifold nervous symptoms that accom-
pany goiter. Twelve of these have been
discharged as cured, and nine are well on
the highway toward recovery.
met and talked with number of DR..
FitzGeralds patients. 1t is too early, of
course, to say what the ultimate effects
will be; but from present indications the
results of this method bid fair to be per-
manent. At any rate. the principle is so
simple and so easy of application that it
would seem well worth trial before risk
ing the dangers and the possible nervous
developments which follow radical oper-
alton or sometimes even the use of organic
extracts or powerful alternatives.
