regulatory mechanisms of other glands and with the wider systemic 

 functions; (4) the metabolism of the hormones; (5) clinical applica- 

 tions to prevent and cure endocrine diseases; (6) applications in 

 animal industry. 



This exposition of the hormones for the sake of brevity has been 

 necessarily general in character and, therefore, incomplete. The 

 author had to avoid the double risk of being too elementary or too 

 tedious. Briefness courts the danger of being dogmatic or of not pro- 

 viding the factual basis for each statement. This essay has been written 

 with a view to presenting to scientific laymen, but not to specialists in 

 endocrinology, the current position of the problem of the hormones.
