AN ALARMING SITUATION. The widespread incidence of Goitre in the young womanhood of this country is alarming thoughtful people. A well-known lady doctor recently declared that no less than 86 per cent, of the pupils in a South Island High School for girls suffered with Goitre, either incipient or developed. There is a simple explanation behind the fact that cases of Goitre have shown a marked increase of late. As one N.Z. doctor put it in a lecture to colleagues; “Goitre has been shown with pretty great certainty to be due to the removal of iodine from salt and from wheat.” Goitre, then, is admittedly due to the lack of iodine in the system. Fortunately this iodine can now be secured in assimilable form by means of the new treatment, Thyrodone. Thyrodone is a concentrated extract of Stewart Island oysters and retains the iodine and other health minerals of the oyster in superior quality and potency to other recognised sources. When it is -calculated that oysters give two hundred times more iodine than an equal weight of eggs, steak, or milk, one can easily understand the many reports of successful goitre treatments through Thyrodone. Thvrodone is sold by Chemists at 4s 6d. 'if you have difficulty in obtain-! ing, write to Thvrodone Development Ltd., P.O. Box * 255, Invercargill.— [Advt.]
