211 THE GLANDS REGULATING PERSONALITY 



loom as one of the most magnificent promises of science. Yet 

 the high expectations for tomorrow should not depress our respect 

 for the achievements of today. In the case of the pituitary, for 

 instance, a hint as to the method of approach is furnished by the 

 tabulation of the traits of pituitary dominance and pituitary in- 

 feriority in children. 



Pituitary sufficient and dominant: 

 Large, spare, bony frame 

 Eyes wide apart 

 Broad face 



Teeth, broad, large, unspaced 

 Square, protruding chin and jaws 

 Large feet and hands 

 Early hair growth on body 

 Thick skin, large sex organs 

 Aggressive, precocious, calculating, self-contained 



Pituitary inferior: 

 Small, sometimes delicate skeleton 

 Rather adipose, weak muscles 

 Upper jaw prognathous 

 Dry, flabby skin 

 Small hands and feet 

 Abnormal desire for sweets 

 Subnormal temperature, blood pressure and pulse 

 Poor control of lower vegetative functions 

 Mentally sluggish, dull, apathetic, backward . 

 Loses self-control quickly, cries easily, discouraged promptly, 

 psychic stamina insufficient

 of the size of the gland, because its bony box is com; 



•its typical hall-marks. Se suppli<
