SUMMARY

The results of analyses of the mineral content of drinking water from three Indian villages with endemic fluorosis, surveyed for the incidence of thyroid enlargement, are reported.

With the possible exception of temporary thyroid enlargement encountered in pubertal subjects (type b, see text, p. 105), no relation was found between the incidence of endemic goitre and fluorine in the water supply.
