• It was 20th-century American novelist, poet and performer William S. Burroughs who made the following sage observation: “Most of the trouble in this world has been caused by folks who can’t mind their own business, because they have no business of their own to mind, any more than a smallpox virus has.”

• The first traffic signal, which began operating in Cleveland in 1914, wasn’t much of a labor-saver. To operate it, a police officer had to sit in a nearby booth where he could oversee the traffic.

• Those who study such things claim that at any given moment, there are 850,000 people inside a Walmart store. And that’s just in the United States – there’s no telling how many people are shopping at Walmarts abroad.

• California Tech conducted a study in which consumers were offered two samples of the same wine, but each sample was labeled at a different price point. Unaware that the wines they were drinking were identical, most participants said they preferred the more expensive sample.

• If you’re planning a trip to Turkey, be sure to book a stay at the Marmara Antalya on the country’s southern coast. This unique hotel revolves, offering ever-changing views of the Mediterranean Sea to its guests.

Three Ways to Treat Overactive Thyroid

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My daughter was di-agnosed recently with a mildly overactive thyroid gland. She is going to have another test in one month. What can be done to bring her thyroid readings to normal without taking medicine for it? What health problems are caused as a result of an overactive gland? -- M.M.

ANSWER: The thyroid gland -- located in the neck -- produces thyroid hormone, a hormone with many functions. At young ages, it fosters growth. It enhances brain activity. It’s involved with the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. It keeps body weight on the lean side. It prevents the heart from slowing down. It’s involved with the production of body heat. It keeps cell chemistry perking along at the optimum rate.

Hyperthyroidism, an overactive gland, pushes all the above functions into overdrive. People lose weight in spite of eating more food. The heart races even when people are at rest. Hands tend to shake. At a room temperature comfortable for most, affected people feel hot. The eyes often bulge. Menstrual periods are thrown off their normal cycle.

One of the major causes of an overactive gland is Graves disease. In this condition, the body makes antibodies that stimulate the gland to produce excessive amounts of its hormone. The gland enlarges -- becomes a goiter.

I don’t know of a way to treat the gland reli-ably without resorting to medicines or surgery. Medicines for hyperthyroidism are methimazole or PTU. The medicine chosen is taken for six months to two years and then stopped. If a person relapses, the medicine has to be restarted. Radioac-tive iodine is another treatment. When people hear the word “radioactive,” they cringe. In the decades and decades of its use, radioactive iodine hasn’t been responsible for cancer. The iodine makes a beeline to the gland and puts it out of commission. It’s similar to having surgery without a scalpel.

Surgical removal of all or part of the gland is the third option for this condition.

The booklet on the thyroid gland explains both an overactive and underactive gland. To obtain a copy, write: Dr. Donohue -- No. 401W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

• • •DEAR DR. DONOHUE: This morning, on looking

into the mirror, I got a shock. My right eye has a large, red blotch on the white part. It looks like blood. I don’t have any pain, and my sight is fine. What is this? I can’t re-member hitting my eye. Could I have done so during sleep? -- B.B.

tival hemorrhage. “Hemorrhage” is far too strong a word to use here. It’s actually a small amount of blood that comes from a broken capillary, one of the tiniest and most delicate of blood vessels. Capillaries break for innocent reasons. A cough or sneeze can break one. Most of the time, people have no recollection of anything happening that caused the break. “Subconjunctival” means the leak occurred under the transparent mem-brane that covers the eye, the conjunctiva.

By the time you read this, the splotch should have vanished.

but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

September 29 - October 5, 2011

Juan Pablo Montoya began competing regularly in NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series in 2007. He was named Rookie of the Year, which came as no surprise since Montoya is one of the racing world's more recogniz-

able names, not to mention one of its prodigious talents.Yet Montoya -- who won the CART championship in 1999 as a rookie, won

the Indianapolis 500 in 2000 and the Grand Prix of Monaco in 2003 -- has yet to blossom into full-fledge stock-car stardom.

Montoya, who just turned 36, is the first foreign-born driver to win more than once in Cup competition. Both his victories have occurred on road courses. He made the Chase for the Sprint Cup in 2009.

Entering the rain-delayed Geico 400 at Chicagoland Speedway, Montoya, who is from Bogota, Colombia, but now lives in Miami, ranked 18th in the point standings. It's been a dreary season not just for Montoya, but for his team, Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates. Montoya's teammate, Jamie McMurray, had slumped to 25th entering the Chicagoland race.

"I think the No. 1 car (McMurray) has been having a really rough season, and they have been trying to change things around, and it hasn't really come to them," Montoya said. "They have had a couple of decent results, but overall

Struggling Montoya Stays Optimistic

it has been a really hard season for them."For us, we have been up and down. We can get a top-five (finish) here and

there, and fight for a win there, and then run 30th. It is something ... we need to understand why it is, and lately it has been getting harder and harder. I think our cars need to get better. We looked at some numbers and stuff, and there is some work to be done. It is going to be interesting."

If Montoya is growing weary of struggling, he hasn't admitted it. He insists he is happy with the principal owner, Chip Ganassi.

"He's a good guy to work for," Montoya said. "Like everybody else, he's got his good days, and really bad days.

"You've got to make sure, when you talk to him, you've got him on a good day."

• On Oct. 16, 1793, nine months after the execution of her husband, the former King Louis XVI of France, Marie-Antoinette follows him to the guillotine. At a time of economic turmoil in France, she lived extravagantly and responded to news that the French peasantry had no bread to eat by callously replying, "Let them eat cake."

• On Oct. 14, 1857, engineer and inventor Elwood Haynes is born in Portland, Ind. Haynes designed one of the very first American automobiles, the Haynes "Pioneer," a 820-pound, open-bodied, push-start vehicle with chain drive, a steering til ler, 28-inch bicycle wheels and a one-cylinder, one-horsepower gasoline engine. It had room for only one person and could not go in reverse.

• On Oct. 12, 1915, British nurse Edith Cavell is executed by a German firing squad in Brussels for helping Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium during World War I. Cavell was honored with a statue in St. Martin's Place, just off London's Trafalgar Square.

• On Oct. 11, 1923, in a botched robbery attempt, three men blow up the mail car of a Southern Pacific train carrying passengers through southern Oregon. The explosives the thieves intended to

use to open the mail car were too powerful, and the entire mail car was blown to bits.

• On Oct. 10, 1957, the Milwaukee Braves defeat the New York Yankees in seven games to win their first World Series since 1914. No one expected the Braves to win, as the New York team had already won the championship 21 times.

• On Oct. 15, 1965, David Miller, a young Catholic pacifist, becomes the first U.S. war protestor to burn his draft card in direct violation of a law forbidding such acts. He was later arrested, tried, found guilty and sentenced to two years imprisonment.
