REPORT REVEALS NEW HEALTH FIND Hormone, Affecting Women, Isolated by Biologists in Experiments. RBY HOWARD W. BLAKESLI Asnociated Press Science Editor. COLD SPRING HARBOR, N. Y. August. 10.—Isolation by scientists of & long sought and powerful hormone that plays an important role in femi- nine health, was revealed today in an account’ of some new experiments at the biological laboratory of the Long Island Biologieal Association. This hormone is an internal gland | secretion, the existence of which has ! been recognized for years as an essen- tial principle of small bodies called corpora lutea. The experiments were described by Dr. Reginald G. Harris, director of the laboratory. Two Extracts Found. “Two extraets,” he sald, “both made from corpora lutea of animals, have been discovered recently. The fitst was made by Dr. George W. Corner, held of the department of anatomy of ti Unlvernty of Rochester School of Medl- eine and Dentistry. The other extract was obtained by a_alightly different method by Dr. J. J. Pfiffner, a per- manent member of the laboratory staff. “Dr. Corner's extract has been in. Jected h: ermically into rats and | Tabbits whose ovaries were removed after pregnancy. Ordinarily this op- eration would have meant death to the unborn young, but use of the estract resulted “in normal birth of healthy young rats and rabbits, | “This result bears out & belief which many of us have -held, that corpora | lutea are essential for normal births, and their lack an explanation of serious | ilis, both physical and psychological. | For years various agencies have sought to make an effective extract. Now ap- | parently we have it. Continue Experiments. “Further experiments are under way. | ©ur goal is to learn its applications and | then fo make an extract suitable for human use. It is hoped these uses may extend beyond the field of reproduc- von.” Male rats were used to discover the | potency of the second extract. It w used on them along with anoth hormone, oestrin. which is the cause of | secondary feminine characteristics, | auch as freedom from hairy bodies. The | Isboratory males acquired a number of | female traits under use of two hor- mones. “While persons working on the ex- tracts.” said Dr. Harris, “would be the Jast to predict that they may be the means of producing healthier children, yet it is widely known that the life of the child before birth is of greatest im- portance to future physical and mental well-being. It may very well be that | future allied discoveries will bring about. a body of information with the aid of which such an extract might be used | for more healthy development of chil- | dren in the critical period before birth.” WISTED BEAD CHOKERS | TAKE ON NEW COLORS| PARIS (#) —"Better to havé an old out-of-date jewelry and & new dress advises one of the bi-monthly fashion publications here which is a style gos- pel to millions of French women.
