BARTON IN MY student days the severe type of goiter--exophthalmic goiter or Grave's disease-- was a serious matter to the pntient and his family. It often meant traveling hundreds of miles to some outstanding surgeon and often the case was too far advanced to obtain successful results. Today, while practically every hospital has one or a number of surgeons skilled in this operation, it is known that many cases can be successfully treated by X-rays and Estill others are relieved of their symptoms by rest and medicine. y • * 7 There are, of course, certain cases in which operation should be performed as pointed out by Drs. Walter Redisch, New York, and William H. Perloff, Philadelphia,(in Endocrinology. 1.

Cases in which one or more nodules or lumps can be felt, firmer than the remainder of the gland. 3. Those cases in which other forms of treatment such as rest and iodine have failed. 4. Wherever there is immediate danger from heart and blood-vessel disturbances. ' Record of Results. the' results .obtained by use of iodine alone, Drs. Redisch and PerlofF state that iodine causes a great improvement in some patients, has no effect in others, and makes still others worse. By using sodium iodide with the pure iodine, instead of potassium iodide, results shewed about 10 per cent of the cases completely and permanently cured, 40 per cent free of symptoms so long as iodine is used, and almost 50 per cent "almost" free of symptoms, but with some signs and symptoms still present. The thought then is that while many cases must undergo surgery, and k others treatment by X-ray, there are many other cases in which iodine alone, or iodine with rest, brings relief of symptoms. • • #f* - „ Dizziness Often Due to Allergy A MONG your friends and acquaintances you likely have a number who are sensitive or allergic to various foods. They will tell you that a certain food brings on an attack of hives or an upset stomach or an attack of asthma, or a head cold. The eating of foods to which one is sensitive is now believed to be the cause of attacks of dizziness that were formerly blamed on the liver. Just as foods inflame the lining of nose, throat and bronchial tubes, the lining of the stomach and the surface of the skin, so can they cause an inflammation of the inner ear, thickening the lining upsetting the balancing canals and so causing dizziness. Dr. L. H. Criep, Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania Medical Journal, Harrisburg, states that the number of cases of dizziness due to allergy is greater than suspected. That allergy causes swelling and puffiness of the inner ear, just as it causes swelling and puffiness of the skin, lining of nose and other parts, is logical or reasonable particularly when all the other conditions found in allergy are present in these cases, such as family history of allergy and other allergic symptoms (asthma, hay fever, eczema and the like) and the tests for allergy are positive. Dizziness (vertigo) due to allergy may be the only symptom present or there may be other symptoms such as deafness, ringing in the ears (one or both sid^s), apd stomach upsets. Dr. Criep points out that similar symptoms--loss of hearing, ringing in ears, dizziness, headache--may be due to tumors, infections, poisoning and bleeding into inner ear, so that all these conditions should be considered and searched for, before blaming the symptoms on allergy. If none of these conditions is present, it is reasonable to believe that allergy may be the cause. proved as read. Motion carried.

A. -- The family physician who knows the patient's condition best after a stroke or after each stroke gives the patient a complete rest in bed for some weeks. He is then al lowed to take a certain amount of exercise according to his condition. He is given small meals four times a day instead of the usual three. The physician may give medicine to give relief of symptoms. f, We Wonder "Some men worry so much about income taxes that we wonder if they Wouldn't be happier without the in twin."
