Saturday evening.
When asked by representative

"On Saturday the tonnage mined
averaged better than $50 to the

than $50 per ton. With we'll defin-

Of nhvsical undevelopment. All the |
time, however, it was thought that the
secretional output was OF one general
character.
Now. the medical fraternity knows
that the two lobes Of this little body
have separate duties and actually send
into our systems radically different
hormones or chemical agents. Tne
front lobe is the one commonly en-
larged in cases Of giantism and aero
megaly, and its secretion has to do
directly with bone building and pos
sibly with the growth Of our body sub
stance generally. On the other hand,
the rear or posterior lobe sends out a
able way our nervous system. and its
hormones have been found to be
identical with some OF the substance
isolated in the cerebro-spinal. fluid. A
startling proof Of the action OF the
secretion Of the back lobe has been
given in experiments in which extracts
OF this lobe, taken from one animal.
have been injected into dogs, etc. The
chemical agents Immediately stimu-
lated the neTves OF the heart ana IN
movement, and the vasOmotor nerves
of the blood vessels were excited 50
that the muscles Of the arteries caused
an increased pulse.
In no case where the pituitary gland
has been removed entirely has the
subject survived, except for q short
while; and where q partial cutting out
has greatly reduced its secretional
output the enimals have either suf-
fered from bodily wasting or have
normal mark by means of injections
Of glandular extracts containing the
necessary hormones.
In John Michaers case the surgeons
are bent upon curbing giantism, but
they have done remarkable work of
late in helping those who have suffer-
ed from another phase Of pituitary
arrangement. We refer to instances
where the patients have Jagged in
their physical development to q con-
spicuous degree or have suffered from
impaired vision or from wellnigh con-
tinua1 headaches with accompanying
mental disorder. The pituitary gland
lies just where the optic nerve branch
