IOdine for Goitre In those regions where. the drink- ing water and the food are deficient in iodine some degree of goiter occurs among a large number of the people. particularly children. Its frequency of occurrence can be considerably lessened by the scien- tific administration of small amounts of iodine, as prescribed by the physician or school authority. 1 Styes some wwes ARé HowLiN CAT FTSH!
