RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS WITH REGARD TO GOITER<br />
Dr. William J. Kerr of the University of California Medical School<br />
has recently made a statement to the effect that Goiter is a symptom of<br />
general body trouble rather than of the Thyroid Gland only, as is com-<br />
monly supposed. Despite the fact that for many years, Medical Scien-<br />
tists have attributed all cases of Goiter to the swelling of the Thyroid<br />
Gland, Dr. Kerr has found that Goiter may also be due to affections of<br />

Liver, and the Kidneys. Although this fact has but so recently become<br />
known in America, the Chinese have had knowledge of it for thou-<br />
sands of years, and have treated the affected organs accordingly.<br />

Goiter due to an affection of the Heart. Fong Wan has also relieved<br />
cases of Goiter caused by Stomach Trouble and by Liver Trouble.<br />
