TRYPAFLAVINE. Woolen garments should be treated promptly. After the stain has dried, the garment should be washed in warm water. Then water is heated to about 125 degrees F. and to every quart of water one-half dram of hydrochloric acid is added. The stain is soaked in this for 15 minutes. The garment is then thoroughly rinsed in clear water and dried. URINE. Same as mildew.

GONADS: The sex glands. See ovary and testis. LIVER: Though not generally considered of internal secretion, it does form glycogen (sugar) and urea within its cells. These secretions are given off to the blood for nutrition and for elimination. OVARY: Controls the development of female sexual characteristics. Its secretion exercises an important part in maintaining the normal nervous mechanism. Controls the menstrual function. Absence of ovarian secretion due to surgical removal of the ovaries or at the menopause, causes hot flushes, nervous symptoms, obesity, headaches, and perhaps predisposes to a type of arthritis. PANCREAS: Besides its external secretion (pancreatic juice), the pancreas forms an internal secretion which plays an important part in the metabolism of sugar in the body. This secretion may be an enzyme. Absence of the pancreatic secretion gives rise to glycosuria or diabetes mellitus; there is an increase in the quantity of urine and urea, and abnormal thirst and hunger. Acetone is also present in the urine. These symptoms, unless the condition is controlled, are followed by emaciation and muscular weakness, and finally end in death. PARATHYROID: These glands play an important part in regulating the calcium concentration in the blood and in maintaining a proper balance between the acid and alkaline elements of the blood. They also influence the calcium deposition in the bones. Their mode of action in unknown. Removal or destruction of the parathyroids results in overexcitability of the motor nerves and the central system, due primarily to lowering of the serum calcium. The blood phosphate is increased. PINEAL (GLAND OR BODY): In early life it is a glandular structure, reaching its greatest development at the seventh year. Then undergoes involution, the glandular structure disappears and is replaced by fibrous tissue. In the young child this gland furnishes a secretion which inhibits growth and particularly restrains the development of the reproductive glands. Extract injected intravenously causes a distinct fall of blood pressure. Absence of pineal secretion in the young accelerates development of the reproductive organs, causes mental precocity and increased growth of the skeleton. PITUITARY: Consists of an anterior and posterior lobe. The anterior lobe forms an internal secretion, related to skeletal growth, to mental development, and to the development of the sex glands. The posterior lobe probably influences metabolism, controls the flow or urine, and regulates the tone of the capillaries. Extracts of the posterior lobe contain two principles: vasopressin, which is responsible for the pressor and capillary constrictor action of the extract; oxytocin, which stimulates the uterus but has very little
