The glands of life : a contribution to the study of organotherapy . Guinea pig in which acromegaly was produced experimentally by the broad face, large jaw, hump on back and general increase in skeletal with mother and father on either side. Weight 56 ounces. Parents weigh20 ounces. This pig displayed all mental, nervous and physical phenomena Side view of pigs in upper illustration. Acromegaly 215 tually assumes a condition wherein its function is de-creased to a state below the normal. Thus the symptomsof hypopituitaryism are added to those already

Acromegaly 215 tually assumes a condition wherein its function is de-creased to a state below the normal. Thus the symptomsof hypopituitaryism are added to those already producedby the increased function or hyperpituitaryism which arepermanent in the bony parts. The similarity between certain of the symptomspresent in acromegaly and those of tabes dorsalis havebeen alluded to in a previous chapter, and the author willagain call attention to some of them in this chapter. Acromegaly is characterized by enlargement of theacral parts, the long bones, especially their spongystructure, producing not only an increase in length butalso a marked increase in thickness.
