Abstract
IN the fascinating history of the gradual unfolding—it is too early yet to say elucidation—of the function carried out by the pancreas by means of its internal secretion, insulin, one is above all impressed by the ingenuity of the physiological experiments, which, in the early days, at all events, rather overshadowed the chemical work.
Insulin:
its Production, Purification and Physiological Action. By Douglas W. Hill and Dr. Frederick O. Howitt. Pp. xi + 219 + 4 plates. (London: Hutchinson's Scientific and Technical Publications, 1936.) 12s. 6d. net.
