366 ENDOCRINE GLANDS 



The dried extract is used in intestinal dyspepsia, con- 

 stipation and auto intoxication. 



INTESTINAL ORGANO THERAPY. This preparation is 

 employed in the same type of conditions as the 

 previous one. 



GANGLIONAL ORGANO THERAPY. The lymphatic gan- 

 glia play a part in the formation of the white cells of the 

 blood which protect the organism against infection. The 

 administration of the extract of these glands aims in 

 increasing leukocytosis and to contribute to the general 

 defence of the organism. 



The glycerin extract of the lymph glands is used (to 

 be injected intramuscularly) or the total extract in 

 infectious diseases, rheumatism, glandular fever, purpural 

 infections, etc. 



GASTRIC ORGANO THERAPY. The internal secretion 

 of the stomach is not well known. Gastric organo 

 therapy aims chiefly in increasing the external secretion, 

 the gastric juice and to a certain extent makes up for a 

 deficiency of gastric juice. 



Neutralized gastric juice can be used or the dried 

 extract of the gastric mucosa. The chief indications are 

 in decreased gastric secretion, gastro enteritis and certain 

 gastric neuroses. 



HEMATOETHYROIDIN ORGANO THERAPY. This con- 

 sists in utilizing the blood of animals whose thyroid gland 

 has been removed (Ballet and Enriquez). It is recom- 

 mended in certain disorders due to hyperfunction of the 

 thyroid. Moebius's serum in Germany is obtained from 

 sheep from which the thyroid has been removed. The 

 serum of dethyroided horses is preferable. 



It is given in doses of from 3 to 5 teaspoonfuls a day. 

 It is used in exophthalmic goitre and certain other mani- 

 festations of hyperthyroidism (insomnia, diabetes).
