According to the recently compiled book, "A Standard Classified Nomenclature of Disease,"1which has been adopted by the leading hospitals in America, the ideal name for a disease should identify it with the organ involved (topographic), and with the pathologic and physiologic changes that occur in the glands, or other tissues, which cause the phenomena observed in the condition (etiologic). In the classification and nomenclature of the secretory disorders of the pituitary, thyroid and adrenal...Bibliography1. A standard classified nomenclature of disease, H. B.
