The heavy red blood cells were thrown away and the clear plasma packed on ice where it stayed fresh for six weeks. Into the plasma the experimenters poured a few drops of chicken embryo extract, "a powerful clotting agent...
Components & Types. In The Varieties of Human Physique (Harper; $4.50), a summary of his work which he published last week, Dr. Sheldon describes and defines his three components. They are called endomorphic, mesomorphic and ectomorphic because the prominent features of each are derived, respectively, from the embryo's endoderm or inner layer (abdominal organs), the mesoderm or middle layer (bones, muscles, connective tissue, heart, blood vessels), and the ectoderm or outer layer (skin, hair, nails, sense organs, nervous system, brain...

Finally, the whole universe, which is in constant evolution, must have a supreme genie-the Cosmos or World Soul...
