But even with the cooperation of non-Armour stockyards, the Armour Laboratories can get so far only about 125,000 hog pituitaries a week-enough to make five ounces of ACTH. All the hogs slaughtered in the U.S. would not yield much more than a pound a week...

ACTH is one of at least six important hormones secreted by the pituitary, each of which acts as a master control regulating the flow of a series of other vital substances in the body. ACTH got its full name from the group it controls: the hormones of the cortex (outer casing) of the adrenals (the glands which bestride the kidneys).

Main Street doesn't read like a crusading book today. Maybe it never was as much'a crusading book as some of its readers assumed."
