Intending to find the relation between the functions of the skin and those of various internal secretive organs, I investigated on the subject with the tissue-respiration of the skin as its base; the results obtained run as follows:
1) Internal secretions of the thyroid, pancreas, suprarenal-medulla, gonad, and anterior lobe of pituitary body give respectively accelerating influences upon the functions of the skin.
2) Naturally these organs of internal secretion do not influence equally. Though the internal secretions of the pancreas, thyroid, suprarenal-medulla, and gonad accelerate the functions of the skin, yet that of the anterior-lobe of pituitary body is feeble. But ACTH has a comparatively distinct accelerating function.
3) The internal secretions of the suparenal-medulla, posterior looe of pituitary body and corpus luteum influence inhibitively upon the functions of the skin.
