THIS ENDOCRINE HANDBOOK is an attempt to inform our friends of the trends of progress in endocrine therapy, particularly those everyday phases of the subject upon which our work is based. It is not intended to be a review of glandular physiology or pathology, nor is it a treatise on the clinical aspects of endocrine or near-endocrine disorders. The reader will be able quickly to find much practical information that can be utilized in his work. While the manuscript for this book was being prepared, it occurred to the author that pointed excerpts from current medical literature might be given as more direct evidence of the validity of many views that are outlined here. These "Clinical Excerpts," which follow each chapter, constitute an exceptionally valuable review of the subjects considered, and the index makes this therapeutic information much more accessible.
