Exophthalmic goiter is the most thunderous of the goiters. The thyroid enlarges, the eyes pop, the heart races, the nerves go atwitter. "It is," cries Professor William Boyd to his pathology classes in the University of Manitoba (Winnipeg), "as if some blast were blowing on the furnace of the body, fanning it into a condition of furious activity. . . .

Some were farmers in ragged overalls. Others looked like blackshirted hoodlums from nearby Sioux City. They kept their hats on, continued to smoke.
