Abstract
The place now occupied by the endocrine glands in medicine is of sufficient importance to affect all branches of that science, but it is particularly in dermatology that some of the phases of dysendocrinism manifest themselves. It is therefore necessary for those of us interested in this particular branch of medicine to become thoroughly acquainted with the more common surface signs of endocrine dysfunction, and it is the object of this paper to bring out the major diagnostic points of the more common of these signs as fully as possible, for on a correct interpretation depends much of our therapeusis. Unfortunately, the literature on the internal secretions is so voluminous, and its dermatologic side so little dwelt on, that the author must beg indulgence for any lapses discovered by those of his readers more skilled than he. Another difficulty encountered is the overenthusiasm of many writers on the ductless glands.
