Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Glands of Life: A Contribution to the Study of Organotherapy This highly specialized nervous system and the sub ordinate muscular mechanism depend for maintenance upon nutrient substances elaborated by the visceral or gans, sometimes called the organs Of vegetative life, Whose functions are performed involuntarily and unconsciously. It is well understood that the activities of these vis ceral organs are regulated by impulses proceeding from centers of nerve force; but underlying these activities there must be some primal, sustaining force, upon which they depend, a force most intimately associated with the essential phenomena Of life. It is now believed that this force emanates from a group of organs known as the ductless glands and hence these are termed The Glands of Life. This supremely important, life-sustaining force is inherent in uids, called internal secretions, elaborated by certain cells Within the tissue of the glands. These secretions mingle with the stream circulating through the blood vessels and thus come in contact with the organs which it is their function to vitalize, by transfer ring to/ them the force of which they act as carriers. It is the purpose of this thesis to explain, in the light Of recent scientific progress, the physiological role played by the glands of life, from which this force emanates, and also to Show that serious diseases are caused by any alteration in the natural supply of this force, and that cures may be effected by furnishing this force, as therapeutic treatment.
