Synopsis

Explore the world of endocrine glands and the sympathetic system through a historical and clinical lens.

This volume surveys how internal secretions influence the body, and it details a wide range of organ therapies using gland extracts to address various conditions. From the nervous system to hormone-like effects, it offers a clear, practical look at early therapeutic ideas and their outcomes.

Readers will find concrete descriptions of several organ therapies, including how dried or glycerinated extracts were used, the indications that guided treatment, and the cautions that accompanied these approaches. The text also connects physiological concepts to real-world symptoms and diseases, helping readers understand the roots of many endocrine and autonomic phenomena.

• Overview of gland-based therapies and their historical context.
• Descriptions of the internal and external secretions attributed to different organs.
• Practical notes on indications, doses, and methods of administration.
• Clinical signs and syndromes linked to pituitary, thyroid, suprarenal, and other glands.

Ideal for readers of medical history, endocrinology, and those interested in the evolution of glandular therapy.
