That the delicate linings of the nose are influenced by sex hormones is a theory well-known to biologists. Four years ago Biochemist Hector Mortimer of Montreal's McGill University and his colleagues, Dr. Robert Percy Wright and Nobel Prize-sharer James Bertram Collip, one of the discoverers of insulin, decided to put the theory to practical use. They dropped small amounts of female sex hormone estrogen into the noses of patients who suffered from atrophic rhinitis (withering of the nasal mucous membranes). Many patients recovered.

Front Lobe. The pituitary gland consists of three parts, two lobes and a narrow middle. In the smaller rear lobe, two hormones have been fairly well identified (alpha-hypophamine and beta-hypophamine), which appear respectively to influence uterine contractions and blood pressure. Biochemist James Bertram Collip of Montreal's McGill University discovered a hormone of the middle pituitary (appropriately called intermedia) which affects, though it does not exclusively control, the blood sugar level...
