Monte surmised that he had been shad-

TREATMENT OF GOITRE AND HOW TO
AID VICTIMS OF SERIOUS AFFLICTION
By WILLIAM BRADY. M, D.

TN THE Revue Medlcale de la Suisse
i Romande, March. 1915, Dr. F. Mes
serli reports some excellent results in the
treatment of simple goitre by the daily
administration, for period of several
weeks, of active intestinal antiseptics,
such as thymol, salol, benzonaphthol. The
salol was given in doses of 15 grains twice
day. It Is best taken an hour or two
after food, and must be discontinued II
any signs of kidney irritation appear such
as dark-colored urine, pain or frequency
For salol is nothing but combination OF
salicylic acid and carbolc acid, and car
bolic acid is apt to irritate the kidneys
In every instance in which these reme-
dies were given there was n distinct inn
provement, reduction of from one to two
and one-half inches n the circumference
of the neck. with but single exception.
Generally the enlarged thyroid complete
ly disappeared.
From India Doctor MacCarrison reports
experiments In which goitre was produced
by the drinking of polluted water, and
cleared up by the administration of in
testinal antiseptics.
Ordinary laxatives have some reputa-
tlon for curing goitre, probably by me-
chanically clearing away large masses of
bacteria from the intestine. The greater
part of the bulk of fecal matter in health
consists of the dead bodies of bacteria.
It is possible that antseptics directly
influence the production of some specific
goltre-producing agent In the bowel, or
they may simply diminish the putrefac-
tive changes always occurring in the in
testine of meat eaters, and so remove
some OF the functional burden from the
thyroid gland, which is physiologically
concerned in the destruction or burning
up of ptomaines or injurious toxins from
any source.
