goitrous

Paracelsus was the first to point out the relation between goitrous parents and mentally retarded children.

'You can blank out your light, boy,' the goitrous officer had told him, almost respectfully.

Confusingly enough, goitrous individuals were apt to have either of two op-posing sets of symptoms.

The figures include goitrous bestial assailants.

The eyes were further bolstered by grey pillows or bags below them; these pillows, having a certain goitrous quality, acted as embankments behind which the eyes watched the world.

Outside Europe a goitrous form of autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's Thyroiditis) is more common than Ord's disease.

But the prevalence of swooning goitrous ladies, the abundance of Art Nouveau-style hair and, overall, the sweet scent of decay recalling Freud's Vienna are reasons for unease.

That this connection of the goiter and at least one set of symptoms was no coincidence was clearly demonstrated in 1883, when several Swiss surgeons completely removed goitrous thyroids from 46 patients.

Perhaps this was why I turned myself into some happy-snap Diane Arbus, seizing the camera and cavorting mirthfully in search of an angle which would set off Stuart's embryonically goitrous condition to a satirical T. Displacement activity.
