eoIrRE PREVENTION

The physicians of Washington
acting through the Public Health
League have begun community
health campaign OF more than or
binary Importance. A statewide
0ffcrt will be made to enlist the
interest OF parents and OF school
authorities in fight against goiter.
The preventive measures are simple
and easily applied and by establish
ing cooperation among the indiv-
duas and agencies interested in
community welfare it is predicted
that the incidence Of this ailnient in
children of school age will be great
ly lessened.
In announcing the disease preven-
ton campaign, Robert O. Jones,
Secretary of the Public Health
League said:
1T is & matter of serious concern
to those who take pride i'll the
splendid continuity health i'll this
state that the incidence OF goiter
should be SO great Simple goitcr
of ttr so-cailcd adolescent type
yields readily to treatment and IS
easily prcventible. The ailment IS
causc.1 by deficiency of iodine in
the water and the soil. The result
Of this deficiency is IN enlarged
thyroid gland. which OF itself is
distressing and which may lead to
serious complications later i'll life.
''In the various areas Of the world
where conditions are found which
approximate those i'll the Pacific
Northwest, scientists have devoted
much time and effort to devising
preventive measures. In Switzer-
l,rd and in the lake port cities Of
Ohio successful campaigns have
been conducted. The remedy lies
in administering small doses of
iodine in chocolate tablets. SO
marked has been the success Of the
disease prevention campaign that it
is predicted ths,t shortly the move
ment will be extended to all parts of
the United States.
"No attempt will be made to per-
suade parents to accept the treat
ment for their children. The plain
facts will be brought to their at
tcntion and whether they avail them
selves of the offer of the medical
profession of the state rests entire
~ Will tiiNllL nc physicians leSi
that they have done their duty to
the community when they point out
safe and certain means for pre-
venting disease and offer an effec-
tive cure Parents will be asked to
give written permission to admins
ter the simple, remedy as proven
give or curative agent else their
children will not be interfered with
in any way. The so-called "deflcl-
ency" course consists OF one choco-
late tablet containing minute
quantity salts once a week for four
ty weeks.
"Thc public Health Loague is
cooperating with the county medical
societies in order that the local
physicians i'm every community will
have charge of the work. 1t is
hoIvol that the press, the Parent
Teacher associations, the local health
authorities and the school boards
may be enlisted in the worthy cam
paien. We are proud of the health
record i'll this state. This san ef-
fort to improve that excellent re-
cord
