voice casual.

The two women looked into each

sense OF the contrast between their
lives lay heavy on the air.
Then Bernice began to cry again.
Tears ran out OF her eyes and down
her cheeks. She sat with her still
gloved hands clasped on her lap
and cried.
Victoria went to the sofa and put
an arm around her shoulders.

Your Health
Women More Often
Victims of Toxic
Goitre
Cioitre

By HERMAN rUND>sEN. NJ.
GOlTRE means enlargement Of
the thyroid gland. In some types
Of goitre there may be an eKces-
sive secretion by the gland. This
condition is known as toxic goitre.
Il seems 10 affect women more
than men. II is rare IN children.
Toxic goitre may be a serious
condition unless il receives proper
and prompt treatment by the ply
sician. As a result Of the excessive
secretion by the thyroid gland,
such symptoms as rapid heart
beat, loss Of weight and strength,
increased sweating, diarrhea,
nervousness, and irritability oc-
cur. The basal metabolism is in
creased. That is, all Of the various
activities Of the body 60 on more
rapidly than normal.
Diagnosis Easy
As q rule, it is not difficult 10
make a diagnosis Of toxic goitre.
A basal metabolism test, carried
out by measuring the amount Of
oxygen used up in a given period
Of time, together with a careful
physical examination, leads to q
diagnosis.
In mild cases Of the disease, il
is possible that complete rest in
bed, together with the use Of To-
dine in the proper dose, may bring
about relief. However, in many
instances, an operation is re-
quired. Some patients have also
been relieved by the use Of q drug
known as thiouraeil.
Needs Increase
According TO Doctor l. DARN
Puppel and his eo-workers Of Ohio
State University, persons with
toxic goitre require twice as much
calcium or lime and phosphorus
as do normal persons. They find
that the effect Of iodine admin
stored in the treatment Of toxic
goitre is increased If plenty OF
calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin
D, needed to absorb the calcium,
are given.
The calcium and phosphorus
may be provided by milk or by
using some preparation such as
calcium gluconate, calcium lac
tate, or dicalcium phosphate. They
found that the most effective
preparation was one of dicalcium
phosphate with yitamin D, in the
form Of viosterol. They also noted .
that pains in the muscles and
joints could be controlled by this
treatment
OF course, the use Of dicalcium
phosphate and vitamin d does
not take the place Of other meas
ures used in the treatment of tox-
ic goitre, such as rest and opera
ton, but by giving these sub
stances, complications following
operations may be reduced. This
form Of treatment may also be
employed in cases Of goitre treat
ed with the new drug thiouracil
or X-ray.

broad renewal and longer period
of time than will be favored by
powerful congressional groups.
In his appeal to the American
people for aid in his legislation
program, Mr.. Truman warned that
pressure groups were trying TO
wreck price control.
There is little disposition in Con.
gress TO attempt to end price con.
troll entirely. The fight will be
over the number OF goods and ser
vices covered, and the length Of
time OF the extension.
II is possible that the extension
may be limited to six or nine
months instead OF one year, the
length of time for which exten-
sions were voted during the war.
