In man this condition produces the dwarf; the skulls of dwarf and bulldog are strikingly similar. The kindly, overgrown St. Bernard, with his heavily wrinkled forehead, massive limbs, shows a pathological pituitary gland. The same condition in man produces the enormous heavily boned circus giant. Dr. Charles Rupert Stockard of Cornell University Medical College experimented with some of these pure blooded deformities. Crossing a famous Great Dane sire with...

That small, oval, reddish-gray body, appended to the brain, is made up of two separately active lobes.

After the dog had been conditioned the metronome was placed near him and started at 200. Immediately saliva dripped into the little tube connected with his salivary gland. The metronome slowed to 68. The dog was no longer interested. Two hundred again and the flow of saliva recommenced...
