exophthalmic goiter but two: there is no exophthalmos and 

 there is no increased metabolic rate. 



Significantly, in these mutants the celiac ganglia are 

 smaller in cases of exophthalmic goiter and in cases of 

 neurocirculatory asthenia than in normal individuals, 

 whereas in cases of exophthalmic goiter the thyroid gland 

 is larger than in normal individuals. 



In support of this statement, that these two diseases may 

 be regarded as mutations, is the discovery that exophthalmic 

 goiter may be cured by breaking this universal energy 

 system by denervating the adrenal glands. This alone 

 causes the brain to return from its pathological activity 

 to the normal state and the thyroid gland from its state of 

 hyperplasia and excessive vascularization to its normal 

 state. Equally does the rapid heartbeat return to its normal 

 rhythm. In neurocirculatory asthenia, denervation of the 

 adrenal glands restores the excited brain to its normal state, 

 the excited sympathetic system to its normal state, and the 

 excited heart to its normal state. 



Of great significance is the fact that excision of the 

 thyroid gland, which cures exophthalmic goiter, has no 

 effect upon neurocirculatory asthenia. Therefore, one may 

 suppose, the mutations involve different organs. In exoph- 

 thalmic goiter the mutation appears to involve the brain 

 and the thyroid gland, whereas in neurocirculatory asthenia 

 the mutation appears to involve the brain-adrenal-sympa- 

 thetic system, the thyroid gland remaining normal. 



The childhood, the school and college days of the hyper- 

 thyroid patient show a brilliant scholastic record and an 

 active, colorful personality. The victim of neurocirculatory 

 asthenia exhibits a greater degree of instability and nervous- 

 ness than the victim of exophthalmic goiter but does not 

 show so high a scholastic record as that of the exophthalmic 

 goiter mutant. 



The equipment of the large brain and thyroid gland is 

 characteristic of warm-blooded man and animals in the
