ABSTRACT THE endocrine principles are of interest from three aspects, clinical, chemical and social, for there is often an attempt to ascribe differences of personality to their variations.
Recently it is on the chemical side that most progress has been made, many of the principles having been isolated in pure crystalline form and even synthesised, so that it is possible to
make the physiological study of the mechanism of their action with material of definite composition and structure. There is progress too on theiclinical side,, though these aspects are more
a matter of controversy. Internal secretions are produced by the thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary and adrenal glands, by the islet tissues of the pancreas, the mucous membrane of the
intestine and the organs of reproduction. From these there has been isolated thyroxine, adrenaline, insulin and oestrin in crystalline form, and there is presumptive evidence for other
compounds. Recent Advances in Endocrinology. By Prof. A. T. Cameron. Pp. vii + 365. (London: J. and A. Churchill, 1933.) 15_s_. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a
