Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Glands in Health and Disease Monkey glands; clever men and stupid ones; glands as the cause of crime; the origin of races; the mentally unbalanced; many acute diseases; "the bearded lady, the giant, the fat boy and the midget"; - all these and more have been dealt with under the subject of glands of internal secretion (also called ductless or endocrine glands). As in any subject that fires the popular imagination, fact and fancy have been mixed, - several drops of fact have been largely diluted with many drops of fancy. The achievements, judged by rigid scientific standards, are no more than modest, but the possibilities are limitless. It is because of these vast possibilities that an imagination, not sufficiently tempered by self-criticism, is apt to enlarge a molehill into a mountain. The glands discussed in this book, the ductless or endocrine glands, regulate the activities of the organism little less than does the brain itself.
