This can be taken three times daily and acts best, I think, if taken before food. The amount of thyroid can be doubled if necessary. In cases where there is much prostration the anterior pituitary can be increased to 2 grains. The orchitic and the ovarian can be omitted if thought advisable.
Hitherto many of us have looked on this condition, arterio-sclerosis, as a tenant’s fixture, to be got rid of only when he moves into his next habitation. This is neither fair to ourselves nor to our patients. It is a hopeless stultification of our more recent physiological knowledge and discoveries. It is a pessimistic faith that deserves failure and gets it. It is a silent denial of those healing powers which Christ so lovingly displayed when on earth, and which are still the heritage of those who can see and believe.
