THYROID.
Preparation.—The dried thyroid gland of the sheep is triturated in the usual way or an extract may be prepared from the fresh gland.
(The following paper on the effects of Thyroid was written by Dr. F. G. Œhme, Roseburg, Oregon:)
The Thyroid, especially if used continually or in large doses, causes the following symptoms:
1. Elevation of the temperature.
2. Increase of the heart's action and of the frequency and volume of the pulse, which, however, is more compressible. Walking, even standing, after taking a dose is apt to cause a feeling of faintness and even complete syncope. The heart may become so weak that it cannot endure any overexertion without danger, even death may result.
