The Internal Secretions of the Sex Glands: the Problem of the “Puberty Gland”

Abstract

THE field of sexual physiology has been so since “Die Pubertatsdriise und ihre Wirkungen was published in 1917, that it has been found necessary to rewrite the book and to give it a new Comparison of old and new provides a clear indication of the advances that have been made and of the modifications in opinion-including the author's own-that they have caused. The book is well planned and well written (in English): the illustrations are bountiful and excellent. There are a few of the inevitable typographical errors, and occasionally the author might perhaps have been happier in the choice of his word. But these are merely finicky fault-findings. This book can be strongly recommended to all those for whom the sections in Marshall's “Physiology of Reproduction “dealing with this subject are not sufficiently complete or recent, for in his treatment of the problems of sexual differentiation the author writes as a master.
