WHEN YOU GET ANGRY.
Influence Of the Emotion Upon The
AdrenaI Glands.


Just above the kidneys there are two
small glands, each about as big as a
pea. known as suprarenal capsules or
adrenal glands. They belong to that
small group Of glands in our bodies
which have 10 duets and whose secre.
tons, whatever they are, pass directly
into the blood These two little glands
play an enormous part In the physio
ogy Of hate.
The secretion of these little glands
Is called adrenalin, and its secretion
cannot be controlled by the will
When 1t is poured into the blood the
amount of sugar in the blood will rise
in the course of few minutes between
10 and 80 per cent.
A strong emotion, such as hate,
causes an increased secretion of adren-
ain in the glands and simultaneously
an increase of sugar in the blood, and
this sudden accession of sugar supplies
the muscles with q much needed food
SO that one OF the effects of the Secre
ton of adrenalin would be direct
benefit to Il man in rage wishing to
exercise stern muscular effort inv0ly
ing fight, conflict or struggle, 1t has
been proved that the removal Of the
adrenal glands has a weakening ef
feet on muscular power, and an in
lection of adrenalin has All invigOrat
ing effect, and not only does adrcnalin
bring out sugar from the liver stock to
feed the muscles, but it also restores
fatigued muscles. at least temporarily.
Men in Il state Of hatred, therefore,
are in the same condition as men who
are putting out their utmost physical
effort. They are in condition, should
they come across the object Of their
hate, to exert the maximum harm upon
it.-New York American.
