GOITRE, MOTHERS' REMEDIES,--1. Three Ingredient Remedy forCategory: Diseases of The Blood And Ductless Galnds "The following treatment is excellent, but must be continued for several months: Extract of Belladonna 1/2 dram Compound Ointment Iodine 1/2 dram Vaselin 1/2 ounce Apply this to the affected parts several times a day." If this treatment is kept up faithfully it is sure to help. [Illustration: Thyroid Gland.] [BLOOD AND DUCTLESS GLANDS 259] 2. Goitre, Simple Remedy for. "Wring a cloth from cold water and bind it around the neck every night when retiring. This is a sure cure if continued for some time." 3. Goitre, Inexpensive Remedy for--"Apply the following several times a day: Extract of belladonna one-half dram, compound ointment of iodine two drams; this treatment must be kept up several months." The above treatment will be found very beneficial and is not an expensive one. PHYSICIANS' TREATMENT for Goitre. 1. Locally tincture of iodine; paint some on the gland once or twice a day until it gets a little sore and keep it so for weeks, or use cosmoline and put in it about one-quarter as much iodine and rub on. Lard will do instead of cosmoline. The parts should be kept red and a little sore. Use also iodide of potash, five grains, three times a day internally, while you are using external applications. 2. Use the compound of tincture of iodine the same way, externally. This is not so strong and can be used longer with, I think, better results. At the same time you may use this same medicine internally. Take one to two drops internally three times a day; or you may take five grains of iodide of potash three times a day instead. Externally: These applications must produce a little redness and be continued for some time. 3. An Ointment. The red iodide of mercury is also good to rub on the part. This may be used if the others fail. 4. Other medical remedies are used, but they must be closely watched and must be used under the supervision of a doctor. The thymus or thyroid extracts are thus used and with good results in many cases. 5. Colorless Iodine: This does not stain, but I have no faith in it. It is used very much now and can be used freely. It is simply, druggists tell me, iodide of potash made in solution, dissolved, and put on the part. A great many cases of large goitres are now being operated upon with quite good success. It is not done until other measures have failed, unless the goitre is interfering with breathing and the blood supply. 6. This is very good, both for internal and external use. Iodide of Potash 20 drams Iodine 1 dram Water enough for 3 ounces Mix thoroughly and shake bottle before using. Put some in two bottles; one for internal and other for external use. Take internally five to ten drops in a little water before meals. Externally, put on the enlarged neck, night and morning, unless it feels too sore, when you can use it once a day or less.
