It hasofTered a plausil)le explanation of the cause and the treat-ment of Ciraves disease. Will the kinetic theory stand alsothe clinical test of controlling that protean disease bred in themidst of the stress of our present-day life? Present-daylife, in which one must ever have one hand on the sword andthe other on the throttle, is a constant stimulus of the kineticsystem. The force of these kinetic stimuli may be lessenedat the cerebral link by intelligent control—a protectivecontrol is empirically attained by many of the most success-ful men. The force of the kinetic stimuli may be broken atthe thyroid link by dividing the nerve su]:)ply, reducing theblood su])ply, or by partial excision; or if the adrenalsfeel the strain, the stimulating force may be broken by divid-ing their nerve supply, reducing the blood supply, or bypartial excision. No theory is worth
