112 THE GLANDS REGULATING PERSONALITY 

 C. One Adrenal-centered Type 



Hairy 

 Dark 



Masculinity marked 

 Tendency to diphtheria 

 and hernia 



These are some of the master types. They have their variants 

 depending upon the influences of the other glands, especially the 

 interstitial cells of the sex glands. 



Ante-Natal Development 



In their ensemble, the glands of internal secretion wield a de- 

 termining influence upon the development of the individual from 

 his very inception. If his various powers may be conceived of 

 as an orchestra, they may be said to conduct it from the very 

 beginning of its movements, and to cease only with its termina- 

 tion. From the moment when the spermatozoon penetrates and 

 fecundates the ovum, the fate of the future being is settled by 

 their disposition. The seal of his destiny is soaked with their 

 substance. 



Post-Natal Development 



Every particle of protoplasm, every granule of the impreg- 

 nated ovum carries the representatives of the parental ductless 

 glands. As a consequence, they transmit chemically, with no 

 figure of speech involved, the peculiar familial, racial and 

 national characters from progenitors to offspring. They confer 

 upon the child a number of the properties commonly recognized 

 as inherited. All those features which distinguish Caucasian 

 from Mongolian, Scandinavian from Italian, Italian from Jew 

 are determined by them. 



In short, at every step of his life, in every relation and asso- 

 ciation, in every expression of the inner forces that control his 

 being, the normal individual is influenced by his internal secre- 

 tions. Let us now see how.
