INTEW YORK. - AnatOIe France
concluded his "RevOlt of the
Angels" with the observation that
mans only hope lay in "'The Con-
quest Of the Demons Of Anger and
Fear in His Own Soul" The quota
tion may be bit awry, since the
book is not at hand, but it is perti-
nent to tOday's news Of the expedi-
tion to the arctic in the interest Of
demOnsIaying-the first of its kind,
barring Siegfried's hunting trip in
the land Of the ice queen.
The above allusion suggests no
over-sinpIif1cation of the purposes
of DR.. George W. Grille, famous sur
geon and bio-chemist, who is head
ing a voyage to the Arctic. Specifi-
cally, he fights the demoniac forces
of anger and fear which now range
the world and which any newspaper
reader can recognize on sight. At
seventy-three, he hopes to find in
the Far North knowledge which will
strengthen his arm and temper his
sword, supplementing knowledge
which he previously cleaned in the
African jungles.
Seals and waIruses, neither Of
them particularly angry or scared,
will be studied by DIR. Crile-nOt as
examples Of dignity and complac-
ency, but as the owners and pro-
prietOrs Of certain unique energy
releasing mechanismS that seem
to work better than the human
carburetOr, the suprarenal gland
system. DR.. Grille has dissected and |
studied about 800 Jungle animals in
the interest of civilized human be-
haviOr, and now, to piece out his
mosaic of life energy, he goes North |
mot to the ant but the sea lion.
These researches have enabled
him in certain instances to cure
chronic anger and fear. He finds
that in this day of newspapers,
radio and press agents there are
stimuli loose every
where which make high blood-pres-
sure the curse Of the age. The
name John L. Lewis" will make
one citizen apoplectic, while ''Tom
Girdler" will induce a similar en-
bolisn in another.
For aggravated cases of this kind,
DR.. Grille has a simple 'tDenerva-
tiOn" operation, in which he thrOt-
lies down the too rampant adrenal
glands. Judging from the past, he
could operate ON the opposed prin-
cipals in a labor dispute and have
them falling over each other to sign
an agreement.
A resident of Cleveland, he is the
founder and head of the Cleveland
Clinic, which is carrying through
profound studies Of the adrenal and
thyroid glands, and of bodily me-
;abolisms generally. His researches
N the world war vastly widened
and deepened the knowledge of the
functioning of the en-
1ocrine glands.
These discoveries led him to de-
scribe the human body as an auto
mobile, in which the brain is the
the suprarenaI gland sys-
em the carburetOr, the liver the
:asOIine tank, the muscles the mo-
or, and the thyroid gland the gear
,ox.
In Africa, DR.. Grille shot and dis
ected hundreds of animals, from ,
he smallest up to lions and rhino-
erosi. He finds that lions have a
gland reinforcing sys-
em which enables the adrenals to {
Ieal action hormones with a tre-
nendous kick. That's what makes
he lion such a good sef-starter
nd the sure winner Of any jungle
rack meet. Lions, tigers and fero- !
ious lone workers in general have :
his hair-trigger starter.
Herding animals have a less sem
tive starting and stimulating d
lechanism. Less complex, cold
IoOded creatures, like crocodiIes,
nth special defensive armament,
ave an even slower takeOff, but i
'r. Crile's main point is that they 1
II have an ignition system which
serves their survival
eeds.
AS DR.. Grille sees it, the malad-
1stment or ma1functioning of our
nergy apparatus releases ungov-
rned emotions, precipitated in body
oisons, and helps put the world
ven more out Of plumb than it ma
lrally seems to be. An artiicially
hanged environment-with all the
ew problems Of urban living and
4 unstable and complex economy
