Letter to Editor
NEBRASKA SMALL SCHOOL
ASSOCIATION
Burwell, Nebr.
Thank-you for your editorial.
The memberships are coming in
very nicely and I wouldn’t be a
bit surprised if we end up rep
resenting the majority of the
counties in Nebraska before the
legislature.
However, we need all the help
we can get as the professional
educators are waging a tremen
dous battle against us.
I certainly appreciate all cf
>our efforts.
Very truly yours,
Leo F. Clinch
Secretary-Treasurer

Thyroid — Umversol Need
In a recent study of six hundred executives, two Chicago medical
researchers made a significant discovery. They were looking for diseases
that had not been detected previously among these persons. Instead of
hisrh blood pressure, hardening of the arteries, or peptic ulcer as migSt
be expected with busy executives ▼
- the most frequently discovered
new disease was one called "low
thyroid state.”
’The condition was found in one
out of eight men and in one out of
every four women examined. These
figures on executives confirm what
other researchers have recently
found - that low thyroid activity
is far more common among people
in all walks of life than had been
believed.
Low thyroid activity can go un
detected for years. It is difficult
to recognize because it may cause
as many as twenty-five different
symptoms, ranging from chronic
headache and fatigue to goiter and
eye ulcers. This should not be sur- j
prising since the secretion of the
thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped
organ in the neck, influences every :
function and cell of the body. When
the gland does not secrete enough
hormone, any number of things j
can go wrong.
Although the thyroid hormone
was the first ever recognized as
necessary to a healthy life, and
thyroid extract has been used as
medicine since 1895, it has been j
only recently that its many pos- i
sible applications have been widely
recognized.
Scientists have discovered many
th \xs about the hormone in the j
last few years; for example, that ;
once it has been secreted by the j
gland, it changes form. At least
nine different chemical compounds
found in the body have been identi
fied as fractions of the hormone.
When the gland is underactive,
t’ body is not getting these
r d chemicals and one or more
<> ,i variety of conditions may re
si.it even tooth decay apparently
is hastened by a lack of thyroid se
cretion.
Although the hormone may
change alter it leaves the gland,
medical researchers have estab
lished that purified tin 'globulin,
the natural form in wh the hor
mone is stored in the nd, will
relieve almost all condu os caused
by low thyroid activity. Through
some mysterious chemical process,
the body takes this substance and
uses it to produce chemicals that
our cells need to function properly.
At one time, the only thyroid
medication available was a crude
extract of animal gland that con
tained unnecessary and sometimes
harmful material. The potency of
such extracts also varied greatly
and a doctor could not be sure
whether the patient was getting
too much or too little.
Today, scientists have developed
a way to eliminate the unnecessary
material while preserving the es
sential substance. They have also
found means of making sure that
the strength of each tablet of the
purified extract is exactly the
same, t»hus providing for correct
dosages in all cases.
