THE DOCTOR SAYS
Surgery Best For Goiter
By ntUIN P. JOKDAV M. 1).
Written for Nt A Service
The thyroid gland lies at the base
of the neck in front. It la a gland
of Internal secretion, that la. It does
not have a duct or passageway
which empties Its secretion else
where as the salivary glands do in
to the mouth. The secretion irom
the thyroid goes directly into the
blond stream.
When the thyroid Is behaving
normally. It produces Just enough
secretion for the needs of the body
Among other things it acts on other
glands and helps to maintain the
pulse rate. Once in a w hile the thy
roid gland starts misbehaving and
produces either too much secretion
or a secretion which Is In some
way abnormal. This results In a
condition developing which we call
toxio goiter.
Symptoms Vary
Usually the thyroid gland be-
comes somewhat enlarged. The)
other symptoms vary, however, the i
most common besides enlargement j
being a rapid heart rate, protrusion
of the eyes, trembling of the hands,
nervousness and loss 01 weight.
Sometimes these symptoms alone
are enough to make a diagnosis.
Almost always, however, doctors
wish to have a metabolism test
roid ia overactive.
Toxic goiter should be discovered .
as soon as possible before It has!
produced damage which may be
difficult or slow to overcome. Thej
most common form ol treatment I
has been surgery.
In recent years some other meth-1
ods besides surgery have been !
tried for toxic goiter. For example. I
a drug called thiourarll and more
recently some of Its relatives have
been tried. These drugs seem to be
satisini'tory for some patients but
not for others, like all strong
drugs they must be given with
care. Now nulloactlve Iodine la
given In some cases and this form
of treatment Is proving quite prom
ising. NLOTK: Dr. Jordan Is unable to
answer ndlvldual questions from
reader- However, each day he
will answer one 01 the most
frequently asked questions In his

Everyone benefits when an Industry reaches that point
where it can operate iteadily, year in and year out Toward
that end, thia company operates tree farms to provide an endless
supply of logs. But different types of mills art needed to process
all of the harvest from our tree farms, because the logs coma
in a variety of species and size. This means we must "diversify"
our manufacturing-make many different kinds of products
from wood. The only practical way to operate such specialired
mills is to group them In one location, to save transportation,
administration, power and other costs. All the harvest from tha
supporting tree farm is funnelled to the one central site. Here,
by efficient operation, we can produce a wide variety of products
at a cost which will allow them to compete on the free American
market So this company has set up a program of "plant inte
gration" that eventually will provide such groups of mills at
each mill site. Thus we can utilize all the harvest from our tree
farms, create more Jobs, promote continuous operation and
build greater security for all.
