and melancholy. They believed that when such persons even talked in 

 a loud voice, the glands of their necks became swollen, and that if the 

 swelling continued, a form of Goiter resulted. 



(3) To the Stomach: They believed that Goiter was due to the 

 stomach through indigestion which caused a sort of muscular lump 

 either inside or outside the throat, the latter being visible. There is 

 also a form of Goiter in which the lump moves up and down when the 

 sufferer either talks or swallows. 



(4) To the Heart: They believed that Goiter was due to the heart 

 in persons im whom the fire element, either in the heart or in the 

 valves of the heart, causes heart enlargement, accompanied by a 

 fast, wild palpitation. In this sort of action, the heart extends and 

 expands to the glands of the throat, the neck, and even to the inside 

 of the ears. The repetition of this wild palpitation of the heart has a 

 tendency to enlarge the glands of the neck into Goiter, which is ac- 

 companied by the protruding of both eyes. The Goiter serves as a sort 

 of safety valve for this wild action of the heart. When Goiter is either 

 operated on or cut out, through loss of this safety valve, the eyes are 

 forced outward giving a pop-eyed appearance.

In this twentieth century, medical scientists in all parts of the 

 world, have both claimed and led people to believe that Goiter in any 

 form is caused by the thyroid glands. In cases where there is insuf- 

 ficient thyroid secretion, the sufferers are advised to take Thyroid 

 Tablets. While we believe that these tablets do some good in cases 

 that come under the first classification given above, we also believe 

 that they do great harm in all others, because the animal thyroid gives 

 a certain amount of animal vitality to the weakened human body. We 

 speak from experience, having seen young women who were not suffer- 

 ing from Goiter who were advised to take Thyroid Tablets by medical 

 men. These patients then began to suffer from melancholia, nervous- 

 ness, forgetfulness and sleeplessness. They also had crying spells, 

 lack of mental ability, itching of the skin, irregular monthlies, and 

 were unable to think clearly. We have also heard of numerous similar 

 complaints. 



The 20th century scientists in various parts of the world use the 

 dumb animals in their experiments. They watch the reactions of these
