The latest findings—h it works like a match in the body’s muscles to enable them to burn their heat-producing fuel ere given in a paper by Dr. Hart- man, released by the chemical society today. The man who stopped breathing had Addison’s disease. A hospital interne. finding him apparently lifeless and without even a detectable pulse, hastily gave salts and adrenalin, the latter an- other powerful hormone from a differ- ent part of the adrenals, but not an Addison’s disease reme This treat- ment restored signs of and a hurry call brought cortin 40 minutes later.
