34 THE INTERNAL SECRETIONS—1920 
by in the rush of a day’s work, but it would seem that 
in addition to the objective clinical picture an analysis 
of the personality, an investigation into social and en- 
vironmental activities, a study of the instinctive de- 
mands, and a determination of the level of the emotional 
threshold would be helpful in the prognostication of so 
many of these qualitative and pre-quantitative endo- 
crine disorders, especially those in which the nervous 
symptoms predominate, and which, unfortunately, here- 
tofore have received such limited attention. In truth, 
success will always attend those efforts which go be- 
yond the ordinary methods of procedure, and it will 
surely be an advantage to him whose conception is 
broad enough to comprehend the disorder in the broad- 
est aspect.
