My dear Colleague, —I feel greatly honoured in being asked to write a few words of introduction to your book, "Practical Hormone Therapy"On looking through the proof sheets, I was at once struck with the excellent manner in which you had succeeded in laying before your readers this new branch of therapeutics in a concise and easily understood form.Hormone Therapy, although its beginnings can be traced back to ancient times, is actually a most recent acquisition, a practical deduction from that new sphere of biological inquiry which is concerned with the Theory of Internal Secretions.Since I have myself worked on this subject, and have endeavoured to give a clear and concise account of its present state 111 my own book, you will readily understand that 1 am perhaps somewhat prejudiced in its favour when I emphasize the importance of internal secretions for the purpose of obtaining a correct insight into the normal and pathological processes.

For more than ten years I have been studying the glands of internal secretion with increasing interest, and in explanation of the work of a laboratory of applied endocrinology now known as The Harrower Laboratory which was established in the foot-hill city of Glendale, eight miles north of Los Angeles, California, in February, 1918, I must preface this book with a few remarks. My interest in the endocrine glands grew out of some work which I did in 1908-9 on metabolism, acidemia and, especially, the urinary acidity. I wrote a number of papers during that period, some of which appeared in prominent medical journals in America and Europe. In asking myself why faulty metabolism and deficient cell chemistry was brought about I could not but consider the regulators of metabolism, as Noel Paton calls them — the hormones of the glands of internal secretion.
