poor creatures, and then jump at conclusions and pass the treatment on 

 to human sufferers. These scientists really do not know how much the 

 dumb animals have suffered under their so-called new discovery, "The 

 Thyroid Treatment." 



RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS WITH REGARD TO GOITER 



Dr. William J. Kerr of the University of California Medical School 

 has recently made a statement to the effect that Goiter is a symptom of 

 general body trouble rather than of the Thyroid Gland only, as is com- 

 monly supposed. Despite the fact that for many years, Medical Scien- 

 tists have attributed all cases of Goiter to the swelling of the Thyroid 

 Gland, Dr. Kerr has found that Goiter may also be due to affections of 

 other organs of the body, including those of the Heart, the Lungs, the 

 Liver, and the Kidneys. Although this fact has but so recently become 

 known in America, the Chinese have had knowledge of it for thou- 

 sands of years, and have treated the affected organs accordingly. 



The testimony printed herewith is one with regard to a case of 

 Goiter due to an affection of the Heart. Fong Wan has also relieved 

 cases of Goiter caused by Stomach Trouble and by Liver Trouble.
