Regular habits and the right food are necessary to the proper functioning of the glands, without which no one can enjoy good health. THE WONDERS OF ADRENAL LIN Adrenalin is a substance which is secreted by two little glands situated just above the kidneys. It has many uses in medicine though it is quite costly, because it takes a herd of cows to obtain a small amount of this valuable secretion. There have been cases where people apparently dead have been restored to life by the injection of adrenalin. To all apeparances they were dead, they had ceased breathing, breath-ing, no heart beat could be elicited by any known test, and the body was beginning to grow cold. It is safe to say that if adrenalin had not been used they would have remained dead. When people have died from chronic disease of the organs, no amount of adrenalin would have any effect in restoring them to life. The only cases that have responded re-sponded to this treatment have died from sudden shock caused by bullet wounds, electric current or some other similar cause.

Doctor Fremont injected aarenaim into tne neart of the dead man. Finally his pulse began to flicker, he breathed and opened his eyes. He was questioned concerning several holdups. He told of some of the activities of the underworld but at the end of five hours collapsed and died from hemorrhage from his wound. Many linemen and others who have passed out from electric shocks have been brought back to life through injection of adrena- There are a number of cases on record, of people having been lin directly into the heart itself, brought back to life by the injection injec-tion of adrenalin. Some of them have lived for many years after. Adrenalin was the first gland substance sub-stance to be discovered. A Japanese Japa-nese physician, Jokichi Takamine was doing research work at the Parke Davis laboratories when he found it out. It is used to stop bleeding, and has many useful purposes. In fact, all the glands of the body create very important products pro-ducts which are necessary to life and health. The thyroid gland, for |
