Springfield, Vermont - Elderly Woman with Goiter

Springfield, Vermont - Elderly Woman with Goiter
A photograph from my husband's GGrandmother's album of an unknown elderly woman with a goiter.
Brought forward for Vintage Photo Theme Park theme of "medical".
The only pre - iodized salt way to get the necessary iodine was in seafood, so the population in landlocked states was at risk.
I would think that in Vermont there would have been an adequate supply from Maine and New Hampshire, but perhaps she didn't like seafood.

Yikes! How interesting yet sad.

Yes, especially since the cure was so simple and inexpensive. I was shocked to learn, a few years ago, that this is still rampant in parts of Africa. So terrible, when iodized salt completely takes care of most cases!
