GENERAL. There are a number of books dealing with 

 the glands of internal secretion. A standard work is that 

 by A. Biedl: The Interned Secretory Organs (William 

 Wood & Co., New York) . More than 100 of the 600 pages 

 are devoted to references to the original literature. An- 

 other excellent work is S. Vincent's Internal Secretion and 

 the Ductless Glands (Edward Arnold, London). C. E. 

 de M. Sajous' The Internal Secretions and the Principles 

 of Medicine (F. A. Davies Co., Philadelphia) is an am- 

 bitious work in two volumes. E. A. Schafer, the Edin- 

 burgh physiologist, is the author of The Endocrine Organs 

 (Longmans, Green & Co., London), which emphasizes the 

 physiological rather than the clinical point of view. On 

 the other hand, W. Falta's The Ductless Glandular Dis- 

 eases (P. Blakiston's Son & Co., Philadelphia) is wholly 

 clinical. D. Noel Paton in The Nervous and Chemical 

 Regulators of the Body (Macmillan & Co., London) em- 

 phasizes chemical factors. For those having a reading 

 knowledge of German, A. Weil's Die Innere SeTcretiori 

 (Julius Springer, Berlin) may be recommended, since it 

 is both authoritative and up-to-date. A very good histori- 

 cal development is given by E. Gley in The Internal Secre- 

 tions (Paul B. Hoeber, New York; translated from the 

 French by Maurice Fishberg). A more recent book by 

 the same author, who is professor of physiology at the
