TWENTY YEARS AG0|
Taksn from The Ely Miner I
the same date in 1908.

Many years ago a farmer put a
mark on a silver dollar and went to
town and spent it with a merchant.
Before the year was out he got the
marked dollar back again for poul-
try and spent it again with a local
merchant. Four times in six years
that dollar came back to him for
produce, and three times he heard
of it in the rockets of neighbors.
The last time he got it in change
he sent it to a mail order house that
has amassed million dollars selling
third rate stuff. He has never seen
| it since and will never till the crack
of doom. That dollar will never
pay any more school tax or road
tax for him; never help to build up
a town or country; never help bless
or brighten the homes Of his neigh
bors. He sent it entirely out of its
sphere of usefulness to him.
This item is making the rounds
of the country press at present and
the logic applies today as well as
it did twenty years ago.-Ed.

''To appreciate why we attempt to
apply the method of goiter proven
ton only among girls through the
period of adolescence and among
women during pregnancy it is nee
essary to understand the function OF
the thyroid gland. This can best
be explained by describing what
happens to individuals who have no
thyroid gland or in whom its nor
NAL function has ceased. When a
child is born without thyroid
gland or with insufficient gland It's
sue, it cannot grow or develop like
normal child, but becomes a
cretin (dwarf) 1t may never be
strong enough to walk, probably
will not be able to talk and is sure
to be very dull mentally if not an
idiot. The thyroid gland also plays
a very important part in the normal
growth and development during
adolescence. Without thyroid func.

puberty does not take place, and
the sex organs and breasts remain
infantile and finally become afro
phic. The thyroid function is equal
ly important during pregnancy, for
it controls the normal rate OF
growth and development of the
fetus. insufficient thyroid function
in the mother causes the immature
thyroid of the fetus to attempt to
function and this produces a goiter
j. e. the child will have congenital
goiter and in many cases ar
adenoma or humorous condition OF
the thyroid in addition. The great
majority of golfers in boys and mer
are of this character.
"The reason for the development
of golfers at these two periods
Adolescence and intra-uterine life
is because there is an unusual de.

normal rate of metabolism build
ing up and tearing down tissues)
and thus bring about the normal de-
velopment of the body. A similar
condition of overwork may follow
any chronic disease like tuberculosis,
or any febrile condition such as
pneumonia or typhoid fever. 1t is
common knowledge among physi-
clans that goiter frequently de-
velops during or following long
severe illness. But the wo pre-
eminent periods of goiter de-
velopment are adolescence and preg-
nancy.
'The first application of the prin.
ciple of goiter prevention as pub
lic-health measure was begun in the
public schools of Akron, Ohio, in
1916 and continued through 1920
This work was carried out by DIR
Marine and myself and was paid fol
by grant from the department OF
Therapeutic Research of the Ameri
can Medical Association. 1t was
so arranged that careful examina
ton of the thyroid of each CIR
from the fifth to the twelfth grade
inclusive was made and recorded
once each year. In the first ex.
animation Sc percent of these girl
were found to have enlarged thy
roids. Most of these golfers o.
course, were small but the physi
, ology of an enlarged thyroid doe
not vary, whatever its size, AMI
unless the iodin deficiency is met
the gland will certainly continue tt
'enlarge.
1.-THE method of prevention uset
in the Akron schools was the ad
ministration of grains of sodium
iodid in the drinking water once |
day for two weeks each spring ant
fall. No girl was asked or permit
ted to take this dose without writ
ten permit from parent or guard
| ian. Almost ten thousand girl
| were examined during the three
years, and approximately half o
these elected to take it. Of thos
taking the prophylactic dose o
iodin not single normal girl de
veloped thyroid enlargement or goi
| ter, although two girls in very poo
health did develop small golfers
This latter occurrence merely show
that in some unusual cases, it take
more iodin than we were using t.
keep the thyroid saturated. Thi
method of goiter prevention is alb
solutely safe; it is easily applied;
is entirely practical"
