connected with the adrenals by direct nerve paths and it governs through the adrenals the general oxidation metabolism and nutrition".
The genitals according to Sajous is intimately connected with the adrenal system because the testicular preparations give the same reactions and tests in precisely the same way as does the adrenal principle.* Milk also contains the adrenal principle, the lactic glands being thus united with the adrenal principle. As to the physiological aspect of the connection with the spinal system," the pituitaro-adrenal path leaves the spinal cord through the upper four or five rami, to enter the sympathetic chain and then the great splanchnic which through the intermediary of the semilunar ganglia, supplies nerves to the adrenals."

"There has been some speculation in the literature as to which is probably the more primitive integrating mechanism within animals-nervous or endocrine. Obviously both mechanisms, when broadly interpreted extend to all forms of living organisms, both unicellular and multicellular. (The phenomena of excitation and conduction and chemical intercellular transmission of information, the basic underlying activities in the physiology of the nervous system, are common to all cells ... Some organizing and differentiating forces obviously had to precede both of these
