...Steinach theory recognizes that the testes create spermatozoa (the male sexual cells, which keep up the endless cycle of life). At the same time, the theory supposes** that the testes form an internal secretion. This secretion pours into the blood stream by way of the veins leading from the ductless (in this case also ducted) glands, carries with it hormones, messengers. In the male these are male hormones, in the female "female sex" hormones, "ovarian" hormones, and so on according to the causation view held by the research reporter. These hormones influence the secondary sex characteristics-body build, hair distribution...
...question, remains in mild doubt among research workers, as does the entire question of influence and interrelation of all the ductless glands...
...Abel, Professor of Pharmacology at Johns Hopkins, has made scores of contributions to the science of health. He has treated such subjects as: ductless glands, regulation of blood pressure, pituitary principles, insulin...
...always exhibited and admired intelligent forcefulness. Deliver her from Average People! Two years ago, at the age of 64, examining life as she does for "strong" ideas whether pleasant or unpleasant, she fastened upon glandular rejuvenation and wrote that gold mine in pseudoclinical vulgate, Black Oxen. Now comes the ductless glands, another "strong" idea and similarly demonstrated, if you care for that sort of thing...
...Balley, an American physicist, has discovered a "radiendocrine treatment" for old age which promises greater success than the gland operations of less recent fame. Failure of the endocrine, or ductless, glands to supply their secretions in sufficient quantity is believed the cause of senescence, and by a new type of radiation they are stimulated to normal functioning. Dr. Herman Rubin says of the new discovery: "I have had the pleasure of using this newer method of radiation in about three hundred cases, and I have effected true rejuvenescence of cell structure in every case treated. . . . For how long a period...
