Oysters for Health
Oysters have special values as articles of food Particularly in their rich mineral content as a, source of iron and copper (clways needed in the daily diet) they stand high but their special feature is their rich iodine content. lodine we look upon as something to be applied to cuts and wounds, but it is even more important as a constituent of food. The thyroid gland soon shows signs of trouble if the iodine supply in the food is defective, but if some kind of fish is used, say twice a week, the iodine supply should be fairly adequate.
