RAREST MEDICINE
SAVES DEAD MAN
Cortin, Extract of AdrenaI
Glands, Comes Into De.
mand for Science.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PresS.
BUFFALO, N. Y, August 31-The
story of a man who stopped breathing,
apparently dead, and then was restored
to partial health in three days from
cortin, one of the new hormone ex-
tracts, became known today at the
opening meeting of the American
Chemical Society.
Crotin Is secretion Of the covering
Of the adrenal glands. small organs
near the kidneys. 1t was isolated in
the department of physiology Of the
University Of Buffalo by the depart
ment head. DR.. F. A. Hartman. The
latest findings-how it works like a
match in the body'S muscles to enable
them to burn their heat-producing fuel
were given in a paper by DR.. Hart
man. released by the chemical society
today.
The man who stopped breathing had
AddiScn's disease. A hospital inferno,
finding him apparently lifeless and
without even detachable pulse, hastily
gave salts and adrenalin, the latter an
other powerful hormone from a differ
ent part of the adrenals, but not an
Addison's disease remedy. This treat
ment restored signs of life and hurry
call brought cortin 90 minutes later.
With its arrival restoration began.
Life Prolonged Eight Months.
At another time two Addisons dis
ease sufferers needed the cortin treat
ment simultaneously. There was only
enough for one. The other died. The
temporarily lucky patient died eight

months later, but not from Addisons

months later, but not from Addison's
disease.
Appeals for cortin are numerous, said
DR.. Hartman. coming partly from indi-
viduals facing death, but more from
universities and general hospitals where
scientists and physicians wish to expert
ment.
The extract Is obtained from adrenals
Of beeves. These organs from $50 cattle
yield enough extract If dried to make q
pile about the size of pinhead. At
this rate cortin Is one of the worlds
extremely precious substances, for 1t re-
quireS the extract Of so to $50 beeves

Tor one acute case of Addison's disease.
The university has been enlarging its
output, but under handicaps for funds,
as no profits are sought by the scien-
fists. One pressing problem is to syn
tkesize the hormone, as this would in
crease the supply To date. there have
been so many other urgent demands for
cortin that none has been left over for
synthesis studies.
Made BY Adrenal Cortex.
"Cortin." said DR.. Hartman's paper,
appears to be constantly manufactured
by the adrenal cortex and poured into
the blood stream since extremely min
ute quantities are stored in the gland
itself
In it's absence muscular weakness
develops, growth and repair are re-
tarded and resistance to toxins and in
lection Is lowered. Later the kidney
begins to fail, blood pressure may fail
and the nervous system become in
volved. OF all the changes occurring
as a result of abnormal insufficiency
muscular weakness is outstanding"
Or. Hartman explained how muscles
comprise 40 per cent of bodily weight
and play such an important factor in
heat production that animals deprived
Of adrenais fail to produce heat and die
when exposed to cold.
Additional evidence of the close re-
lationship between the adrenals and
muscular activity has been obtained"
he said. by the exposure of normal
animals to cold or to enforced exercise
Exposure to cold for 80 hours during a
period Of one week to 10 days stimulates
the growth Of the adrenals so that they
increase as much as 10 per cent in
weight, while enforced exercise for two
hours per day for 10 days causes an

many years of medical practice and
medical teaching in Washington; and
Daniel W., whose worth as lawyer Is
now recognized by his elevation to the
bench.
Justice ODonoghue was born here on
October rs, 1875, and for more than 80
years he has been member of the
washington bar. At Georgetown Uni
versity he gained the A. B. degree In
1897. He gained his A. M. in the next
year and in 1899 he earned his doc
torate, Phi. D., and also his law de-
gree, IL. b. The major law degree,
LII. M, came to him in 1900 and 20
years later, in recognition Of his dis
tinction as a lawyer and his excellence
as a teacher Of law, Georgetown Uni
versity conferred upon him the degree
of LII. D.
DR.. Donoghue has practiced law here
since 1900 and since 1904 has been a
member Of the faculty of the law
school OF Georgetown University. In
1925 he was president of the Bar As
sociation of the District of Columbia.
His practice has made him known far
and wide and some distinct honors
have come to him from distant cities.
For instance the city Of Boston hon.
ored him this year by inviting him TO
be the orator of the day at its ami
yersary celebration of the Battle OF
Bunker Hill, and the city of Wash

he, with four other esteemed Wash
ingtonians, was given extra judicial au-
