Windsor lodized Salt plays an important part in the health of growing children

C01’ ter is but the visible sign the ugly danger signal, of a lack of iodine in the thyroid gland- Mental development, physical growth, the skin, the hair, general health affected.

LL the iodine in the world is contained in

the ocean in bcds of salt, deep under-

ground, left there millions of years ago when oceans rolled where now it is dry land.

Ages ago iodine may have been one of the chemicals of rocks or the soil absorbed from the ancient oceans, but there is no iodine in the soil today. Iodine is one of the most soluble salts ln nature, cons: uently if it ever existed m the soil it wouldqbe quickly dissolved and carried down to the sea, leaving none available at ally of the usual sources from which our bOIiICS derive the salts and other chemicals necessary to health and nomial development, viz., in water, vegetables and other foods.

Thirty years ago it was learned that iodine was a necessity to the pro er functioning of the thyroid gland and when t e land was deprived of its iodine, oiter in some orm resulted. An- other result o insufficient iodine was the wast- ing of the thyroid gland.

Generally speaking, goiter was considered more disﬁguring than dangerous. In the mayor- ity of cases it really is not a serious trouble, though some forms, exophthalmic or “pop-eyed goiter, for instance, are extremely dangerous and fatal in 20 per cent of the cases within two years.

Goiter-the common variety-so frequently seen in both sexes, is really a symptom or evidence that the body has not been properly supplied with iodine throu h the thyroid gland, with results to the gener health likely to be much more serious than the goiter ltsclf-

But the great prevalence of goiter also lcd to the discovery of the almost universaiprcvalence of other troubles due to the lack_of iodine. As goiter became bctter understood its causes were sought. Surveys showed that it was least fre- quent near the sea and most frequent inland.

Further study revealed that to properly func- tion, the thyroid gland must have iodine to work with-iodine in inﬁnitesimal quantity.

THE DANGER »- SIGN

Then as the work of research pro-

ceeded it was found that the lack of iodine in the thyroid ‘ land produced many other harmful results. iter is onl the out- ward manifestation of one result of t e absence of iodine. For-instance, lack of iodine in the thyroid flood ‘ooriously interferes with the growth o children.

Investi ation of this condition was started‘ from the act that young salmon which remain in the freshwater: where they are hatched sel- dom‘ grow to more than a half to two pounds in weight, while those which go down to tho sen their second your and remain there for three

ears grow to from l5 to 30 pounds in weight. ey ct their iodine in the salt water and

growbgn

Then as children approach puberty, goiter or lack of iodine seriously retards the development of the generative organs in both sexes, especial- ly in girls, in whom the change 'is'made more rapidly than in boys. Such girls are likely to bear goitrous children when they themselves become mothers.

Goitrous expectant mothers may bear goit- rous children, which in many cases are cretins or imbecile dwarfs, while in the large percent- age of cases the children will be defective in one form or another.

- Defective action or wasting of the thyroid gland due to insufficient iodine, in women approaching or past the change of life, causes depression, dry, unhealthy skin, pasty com- plexion-, falling hair‘ and nervousness.

Deﬁcient iodine also adversely affects the nutrimcnt of the body. Fats are not properly consumed as-hcat and are redeposlted under the skin, causing obesity or even fatty degeneration.

We have now told ou what the lack of

iodine in the thyroid g and means. What the presence of iodine means is equally interesting and shows how important iodine is to every human being.

Dr. Barwise, who made a special study of this subject in Derbyshire, England, where for centuries goiter has been notoriously prevalent, has listed the functions of iodine through the thyroid gland as follows :--

1. It is necessary for effective metabolism, and specially promotes respiratory changes and physical growth.

2. it promotes efficient mental development. A severe shortage before birth results in cre- tinism.

3. It in especially required in the pregnant con- dition and antenatal clinics must bear this point in mind.

4. It is needed at the age of adolescence for the reproductive organs, particularly in the fo- male, in whom the change-over takes place more rapidly than in the male.

5. It is needed to keep the skin and its append- ages in a healthy condition. A dry skin and failing hair frequently mean thyroid dc- ﬁcicncy.

6. It is required for the digestion, assimilation and combustion of fats. When a shortage occurs the fat cannot be satisfactorily dealt with and it is stored in the bcutaneous tissues. Msny cases of obesity may be occa- sioned in this way.

7. It is required for the metabolism of calcium. The harder the drinking water the more iodine is required.

It il needed to-ensble us to resist the inva- sion of microbes, and to render harmless the toxins which they produce.

Dr. Barwise also admonishes that it should be remembered that the secretion of the thyroid is one of nature's processes of securing immun- ity from germ infection. and the prevention of goiter is much more than a mere aesthetic attainment. For the maintenance of health, inﬁnitesimal quantities are as necessary as vitamincs and the aﬂoat of it is similar and gpite out of proportioh to the quantit taken.

here is every reason to-believe that t e freer use of iodine in Derbylhirc would lend to irn- proved physicnl and mental development; a greater freedom from infectious complaints; and improvement in the genorotboolth.

So it will be seen that while goiter is very common, it is not the only result of lack of iodine in the system. It is also plain that for the maintenance of good health iodine is an

absolute necessity. B ind or i I1 D

V There are many ways of taking iodine into the system and all "are vcry good. The ﬁrst method ls naturc's—-always good. Down by the sea in the Mari-_ time Provinces of Canada and in the New England States goiter is almost unknown. Iodine gets into the drinking water by sca spray blown miles inland. gets into the vegetables from the soil. In many Z6135’ tricts marsh hay, soaked in sea water while go ,' 3, is cut and fed to the cattle and us ﬁnds its Wynn milk into the human stomach. ‘hen the people by the sea eat a great deal of ﬁsh, chins, oysters, crabs and lobsters, all of which contain iodine absorbed from the sea water. It might be mentioned here that

all wheat, especially from near the sea, contains s "

little iodine, but the iodine is in the indigestiblc__busks or bran of the wheat, so that even if it were eaten as a mixture of flour, the iodine would not be absorbed into the system, the bran merely acting as “I~'Jughage" to stimulate bowel action, without being digested.-

But we cannot all live near the sea, so we gulp get our iodine by some other method. /

Switzerland, one might almost say, has been the very home of goiter and the attendant evils caused by insufficient iodine. This is because it is far inland from the sea and because the water supply is almost exclusively derived from glaciers or snow. However, Switzerland is now adopting the simple, effective ' method of using salt. .

.The surest, simplest way of getting iodine into the thyroid gland is by using Windsor lodizcd Salt.

It is necessary to put iodine into the salt and for this purpose the Canadian Salt Company at Windsor, Ontario, worked out the ﬁrst successful formula in Canada for iodizing salt. Since this discovery and its subsequent approval by the Provincial Board hpf- Health, Windsor Iodized Salt is in universal app. ,,.,, .

Windsor Iodized Salt prevents goiter and the diseases " by deﬁcient iodine. it is estiypat d, that 90 to 95 per cent of goiter cases can be cured "Q the simple use of Windsor Iodized Salt. While it s too soon to say what percentage of cases can be pre- vented, it is not too much to say that within ten years goiter may easily be eliminated in Cansdn by the simple, daily use of Windsor Iodized Salt.

Windsor Iodlzed Salt tastes and looks justiilte "plain" salt. If we didn't toll you it was iodizcd you would never know it. It does not change the ﬂavor of your food one iota The children take it in theirpor- ridge, in their vegetables and broths just the same as sny other salt and they never know they are taking, “medicine” that makes them grow into sturdy, Wigunt onsly healthy young men and women.
