Dresden und Leipzig, Verlag von Theodor Steinkopff, 1914, 8°, VIII, (2), 134, (4) pp., Leinenband mit eingebundener orig. Broschur. Erste deutsche Ausgabe! "The early experimental literature on the search for traces of internal secretions in the blood of the insane reflects the confusion in the emerging field of endocrinology re…garding the nature of hormones and their similarities to enzymes, general metabolites, drugs, toxins, antitoxins and vitamins. These studies are too numerous, perplexing and contradictory to summarize here. Perhaps the most extensive early review of this literature was conducted by the Russian psychiatric researcher Aleksandr Ivanovich Iushchenko (1869-1936) in a series of lectures delivered in 1911 and then translated into German and published in 1914. He hypothesized that dementia praecox was caused by glandular dysfunctions, especially disease processes in the parathyroid (Justschenko, 1914: 52). ".
