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 

 m&ny 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.
