New Scientific Discovery.

The old saying that fear lends wings
to the fugitive should be changed, IN
medical terms, to that Of his adrenal
secretions giving him wings. Under
emotional excitement epinephrin is
discharged from the little encapsu-
lated bodies situated above the kid
neys, sealing the blood in the essen
tial organs of the heart, lungs, and
brain, as we'll as in the skeletal
muscles. Into these organs and
muscles the blood first pours in abun-
dance from organs CT less importance
and Is kept there BY the clot forma-
tions Of the epinephIin. The period OF
excitement is thus described by the
Journal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION:
"The organism which>with the aid
Of increased adrenal secretion can
best master its energies, can best call
forth sugar to supply the laboring
muscles, can best lessen fatigue, and
can best send blood to the parts es-
sential for the rulf or the fight for
life, Is most likely to survive. Such,
according to the view here pro-
pounded, is the function Of the adrenal
medulla in times Of great emergency"
