The adrenals are very abundantly supplied with nerves, chiefly com-posed of medullated fibers. These fibers are derived from the solar and renalplexuses and the vagi, but the method of their termination is unknown. A vast amount of information has been given concerning the function of THE SUPRARENAL CAPSULES OR ADRENALS 429 the suprarenal capsules within the last few years by the researches of Schaferand Oliver, Zyboulski, Abel, and others. Brown-Sequard, it is true, showedby experiment as early as 1856 that removal of the suprarenals is followedby the death of the animal, but his experiments were repeated by others who.
