CHANGE-IN-LIFE PERIOD.

"BURNING-OUT" OF THYBOID GLAND. Many women during the change-in-life suffer from "burning-out" of the thyroid gland. ' The symptoms are abnormally quick weight increase, heavy pocketing tinder the eyes, heavy lids, and a general flabbiness around the face and neck. The extra weight is not fat alone, but more frequently a peculiar composition or body discharge, which forms under the skin. Moreover, the hair becomes brittle and pulls out quite easily. This is always a sure of the "burningout" of the thyroid gland. 1 To prevent this "burning-out," the thyroid requires a regular rationing of organic iodine. This iodine, in the usual way, is absorbed from the blood, and it is only by replacing such iodine that the normal functions of the body can be safeguarded. This is particularly necessary in later years, as it is then that the blood shows a tendency to lose its strength and rejuvenating powers. Fortunately, with the new medical discovery, Thyrodone, this necessary organic iodine can be safely supplied to \the thyroid gland and the "burning-out" prevented. Thyrodohe has proved a blessing to thousands of women, and is well worth a trial, as it is sold by chemists at 4/6 with a money-back guarantee. If unable to obtain supplies, write to Thyrodone Development, Ltd., P.O. Box 258, Invercargill.—(Ad.)
