strumous

Now, are we sure that it is from its parents that each child, exposed to these morbific surroundings, has obtained its disposition to strumous disorders? or may it not be that every time the diathesis is thus originated de novo?

Various so-called strumous disorders of this organ, as will be seen hereafter, not uncommonly, however, come under the care of the ophthalmologist as sequel� of the disease.

This is especially apt to occur in strumous and feeble children.

If, particularly in strumous subjects, resolution be incomplete and glandular enlargement and induration remain after the cessation of the acute symptoms, cod-liver oil and iodide of iron are demanded for internal administration and the compound ointment of iodine for external application.

Cod-liver oil and iodide of iron are required, especially by patients of strumous diathesis, the object being to promote a more healthy state of system, so as to prevent extension of the inflammation and facilitate the healing process.
