Hypothyroidism Treatment : A newspaper story of the late 1920's told of a young man and his wife who had decided to renounce civilization and were going to live on a romantic Pacific island. Before they went, however, both these young people had all their teeth pulled and dentures made, to be sure they would be safe from "focal infection" in their primitive paradise.
Today it is once more fashionable to wear your tonsils, but fundamentally little has changed. Instead of tonsils, the scalpels of today are harvesting gall bladders, fibroid tumors, sections of stomachs and colons, cystic ovaries and wombs. Appendectomies are old-fashioned but hysterectomies are in style.

For his "extraordinary man" we may consider the ordinary man and woman, you, myself, the neighbor to whom you just now said good evening. For Goethe's "mission" we can understand the self-assigned goal of each human life. His "demons" we can translate to mean that unconscious drive to destruction which balances the will to live in each of us, Freud's destructive instinct.
Let us put it this way. From birth and through the years of struggle toward maturity, each human being aspires toward some achievement, clear or clouded, conscious or unconscious. Toward this he strives, through the entanglements of life, its success and defeats, until he reaches his mark—or until he becomes convinced that he can never reach it and life ceases to have meaning.
Exceptions leap to mind. The fulfillment of a great task does not necessarily mean the end of life. With each new eminence which a man may reach, new perspectives may beckon him to new endeavors. One man may exhaust himself with a single great effort. But another gains conviction in his purpose, and continues onward.
