TY - JOUR T1 - MAjor endocrine disorders Y1 - 1949/02/26 N1 - 10.1001/jama.1949.02900260059027 JO - Journal of the American Medical Association SP - 613 EP - 613 VL - 139 IS - 9 N2 - This is an interesting volume for those especially concerned with the subject, representing the personal experience and opinions of a British leader in clinical endocrinology. The interest is enhanced by a more than average degree of individuality in style and expression, which is not without charm.The descriptions of the clinical syndromes are good, and the author's comments on variations and combinations of syndromes obviously spring from a rich experience and an alert mind. However, the psysiologic considerations raised by the author are sometimes outdated by American standards, and the sections on treatment are rather weak and incomplete. Altogether, this volume belongs in the collection of the endocrinologist, rather than on the working shelf of the general practitioner or the medical student.
