What, No Thyroid Today?

The simple goiter of adolescence
seems to be compensatory hyper-
trophy oVergrowth or enlargement of
the thSfoid gland, an attempt TO pro-
VIDE the necessary supply of thyro,d
secretion to the blood by an increa sc
of the gland tissue.
Thyroid secretion is the ienition
spark which keeps the billions of cells
at work, brain cells, muscle coils
gland cells, and when the ignition is
poor, when the thyroid secretion is
diminished a slowing down of all the
vital processes which these cells main
tain is inevitable.
The thyroid gland little horse
shoe shaped structure which rings the
windpipe below the Adams apple. is
the most important Of the ductless
glands Of the body. It's secretion like
that of the other ductleSs glands, is
an internal secretion''-that is. in
stead of being conveyed through a
duct to the place where it is TO serve
its purpose. as the secretion of the
liver or the secretion of the pancrea S
is, it enters the blood stream directly
from the gland. All of the other duct
less glands or glands of internal secre-
ton depend upon the thyroid secretion
to come along in the blood and touch
them off, so to speak. The internal
secretion of the adrenal glands. i'm
portant as it is, must wait upon the
thyroid secretion to give it kick.
