lies in the middle of your brain and the impor-
tant pituitary gland situated beneath the
forebrain.
And hormones come from the adrenals on
top of the kidneys from the pancreatic gland
at the stomach, from the stomach and intes-
tines themselves, and also from the sex glands
in men and women
Hand in hand these hormones work. Their
patterns of complicated interbaance make
every human being exactly what he and
she is. Too much of the growth hormone
produced by the pituitary gland causes giants
too little dwarfs. The bearded lady of the
circus is a product of unbalanced sex
hormones.
The hormone balance changes during life. 1t
makes the baby into boy, the boy into a
youth, the youth into a man and the man
into dotard In very real sense you are
as old as your glands.
In the past. in many cases, some form Of
surgery necessary when the glands that
secrete hormones got out of line. But with
the growing lists of hormones that are now
available for medical practice, surgery is not
needed so much today.
One of the greatest and pioneer achieve
ments in the field of hormone isolation was
the discovery and concentration of throxn
the essence of the thyroid gland by DR.. Edwin
Calvin Kendall, famed biochemist of the
Mayo Clinic Or. Kendalls discovery was
widely hailed by the medical profession.
Or. c. Donnell Turner, endocrinologist of
Northwestern University Medical School, has
found that he can produce permanent altera-
tions in the sex Of rats by giving them
overdose of estrogen, the female sex hormone
Some Of the sad and bizarre twists in the
sex of human beings are often duplicated in
experimental colonies of rats in the labora-
tory. But no reasonable explanation of what
was happening to them had been offered until
DR.. Turner's work was reported.
Dr. Turner found that tumors in the ova-
ries of some Of his experimental rats were
turning them into male-like rats The de-
fective ovaries, 1t turned out, were secreting

ing the entero-gastrone from II, Drs. Ivy
and Greengard at Northwesterns Medical
School have. for the first time, concentrated
this hormone. To concentrate q hormone,
biochemists usually obtain from slaughter
houses the stomachs, livers, thyrods or other
glands Of dozens of animals. The parts they
need are peeled away, just as a housewife
cleans a chicken gizzard.
These are then ster1lized, boiled, dried and
purified When all of the unwanted tissue has
been neatly separated from the particular
glands used these are tested chemically and
biologcally as to purity, potency, and phys-
ologc activity
When these complicated examinations
reveal secretions from various glands the
research workers then begin at last to find
by experiments on animals, plants, very
frequently upon themselves, what the juices
and chemicals-the hormones-of those glands
actually do for mankind.
y Constantly new research dscloses hor-
mones in often obscure parts of the body.
Among the ductless glands which produce hor-
none secretions are the tiny pineal gland that

gain the courage Of a
lion. This kind Of simple
reasoning may be good
logic but II seldom has
been good science. Yet
the practice of attempt
ing TO transfer attri-
butes, such as courage,
has long survived.

both male and female hormones. But why
they did this was still mystery.
Finally, DR.. Turner hit upon the idea that
the hormone estrogen might be the cause.
He took young female rats, before they were
ten days old, and gave them big overdoses of
estrogen. And then he cut off this supply
abruptly.
When these treated female rats grew up
to adult life they never gave birth to any
young as mother rat should. More than
that, they exhibited no interest whatever in
the other SEX
One thing which the estrogen did in the
female baby rats was to make them early
grow some of the secondary sex structures
of male rats. Thus DR.. Turner recommended
that the hormone estrogen ought to be ad-
ministered to children very cautiously and
only with the best medical advice.
Don't fall into the erroneous idea that the
so called sex hormones can affect the body
only in it's sex aspects The sense of smell
and of hearing can be influenced on occasions,
as has been demonstrated.
At Canada's McGin University the Nobel
Prize winner Or. j. B. Collip and Drs. Robert
P. Wright and Hector Mortimer found this
out in an unexpected way.
Some years ago it was suggested that
the male and female hormones could affect
medical scientists set out to make an expert
mental test
They dropped small amounts of estrogen
into the nostrils of patients suffering from
atrophic rhinitis. This is an afflction in
which the nasal membranes are withering up,
and the person gradually loses the sense of
smell.
The estrogen drops in the nose proved
definitely useful for this condition.
But the surprising thing was that one
patient a woman, announced that a ringing
sound in her ears had also cleared up. This
annoying sound-purely mental Of course
had long bothered her.
Acting on this single case the researchers
took into their team Professor David l.. Thom-
son and set to work to study 80 women and
16 men who were suffering from progressive
deafness, caused by diseased nerves or bony
growths in the inner ear.
Each day. for several months. they
dropped small doses of estrogen, mixed with
oil. into the noses of these patients
At the end of the treatment, they reported
a great Improvement in hearing in many OF
their subjects.
Why the treatment works no one can ex-
actly say, even today. Reporting in the Jour
nal of the Canadian Medical Association the
scientists said only:
Sex hormones may still play q role In
the physiology Of hearing today"
Certainly there Is some relation between
the senses Of smell and hearing and he sex
glands.
Scientists knew nothing Of hormones in
the days of Louis XIV, But il is possible that
the relationship between smell and glands
was responsible for the famous Court OF
Perfumes Of that monarch.

one cause OF stomach ulcers Is that the
stomach secretes its acid digestive juices too

The effect Of entero- -gastrone," says the
Northwestern announcement. ION the normal
stomach is to slow up its secretion and
movement, thus bringing on a condition OF
stagnation.
But In cases Of gastric or duodenal ulcer
which are ordinarily accompanied by ex-

Some hormones. and shall tell what they

make the human dynamos among men and

Other hormones, like entero- gastrone, are
chemical sedatives in the body. They quiet

Life. as medical science sees 1t now, is
the delicate balancing Of these inner chemi-
