Synopsis

Excerpt from Practical Organotherapy

It used to be most aggravating to me to read some inter esting article and then learn at its close that it may be possible, as our knowledge develops, to apply these findings in a clinical way in suitable cases. Now the physician is enabled to apply an idea with no preliminary bother, ex pense or even trepidation, for, in many instances, at least, this already has been done by hundreds Of others.

Excerpt from Practical Organotherapy: The Internal Secretions in General Practice

For more than ten years I have been studying the glands of internal secretion with increasing interest, and in explanation of the work of a "laboratory of applied endocrinology" now known as "The Harrower Laboratory" which was established in the foot-hill city of Glendale, eight miles north of Los Angeles, California, in February, 1918, I must preface this book with a few remarks.

My interest in the endocrine glands grew out of some work which I did in 1908-9 on metabolism, acidemia and, especially, the urinary acidity. I wrote a number of papers during that period, some of which appeared in prominent medical journals in America and Europe. In asking myself why faulty metabolism and deficient cell chemistry was brought about I could not but consider the "regulators of metabolism," as Noel Paton calls them - the hormones of the glands of internal secretion.

After several years of casual study in Chicago, I went abroad for more than two years, during which time I had opportunity to visit several of the leading students in this field, in many different countries. My enthusiasm was considerably increased by what I saw and heard, and it was not long before I was convinced that we were far behind our European, and especially our French, colleagues. I have since kept in touch with these men, and in 1915-6 succeeded in establishing the Association for the Study of Internal Secretions, a body of physicians and investigators whose object is to further and correlate the work of many widely separated students of endocrinology. The Association's bulletin, "Endocrinology," is a splendid and comprehensive review of the literature and advances in this important study.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
