ABSTRACT
Dr. Wade Brown and his associates at the Rockefeller Institute have recently contributed highly important records of organ variations in perfectly normal mammals. From the experiments with guinea-pigs and those by Wade Brown with rabbits, it is clearly shown that a direct change in organic equilibrium through the alteration of one organ induces new and definite responses in other distantly located organs, changing the general constitution of the individual. The glands of internal secretion respond most delicately to all modifications in organ balance, and thus they superficially appear to be the most important elements in determining the personality. The composition of the organ balance varies qualitatively as well as quantitatively with different ages and under different seasonal conditions. The entire personality of the normal individual may be promptly altered in significant ways by changes in functional coordination among the organs of the body.
