Effect Os Hormones On Aging

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. WHY do people grow old? Around thia question has grown up a whole new field of medicine, known aa geriatrics, the treatment of the aged. .• * The sex hormone?, we have learned, play leading roles in the drama of aging. For some time now, doctors have been giving extra hormones to men and women passing through the change of life, especially those in whom this change has brought various upsets and complications. These hormones, produced by the sex glands, are chiefly responsible for the body developments associated " with maturity. > | Definite Changes Noted It has also been found that a deficiency of male or female hormones, or both, plays an impor- . tant role in aging, both of the sex organs and the body tissues in general. Iri old age, definite changes are seen not only in the endocrine glands—those Which give off hormones—but in practically all the organs and tissues. They "show a lack of growth, a loss in the amount of water they contain, and an increased growth of fibrous tissue. Extra supplies of hormones often alter these changes. The male hormone, known as testosterone, is particularly important in helping the body use proteins to build muscles and other tissues. Striking changes in the tissues may follow extra supplies of this hormone, resulting in. improved vigor, musculan strength and well-being. The effect is to modify the agingproecss at its very beginning. > Calcium Loss Weak bones due to a loss of cal- 'i slum is another frequent compli-1 ‘ V ■ I --

cation of agings This is sometimes helped greatly with combinations of rmale and female hormones. Hormones have also produces, marked effects* on the skin. Female hormone? applied to th® skin of elderly women can improve it? elastic properties and help prevent an aged, haggard appearance of the skin. Male hormones will increase beard growth anfi prevent many skin diseases that occur in aged men. > As important as it fs to improve th? body condition in the aged* the hormones show their most striking benefits in improving the mental outlook and increasing the drive. Extra hormones have led to an Increased optimism and a return of intellectual power. The person feel? as if several yeqrs had been lifted from his age. Treatment Starts Early Usually, more can be done with this sort of treatment when a person is just beginning to age than when he is very .old. It is usually considered that signs of aging begin shortly after forty, and it is believed that hormone treatment,, when necessary, should start with the onset of Os course, treatment with these preparations shpuld be carried out only under the doctors directioii and it is always well for men to have an examination of the prostate gland made prior to .slanting treatment to be sure that an existing condition will I not, be \aggravated by the treatment.

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE | AT HALF-PAST eight ton Sunday evening Rena Austen rang the bell of the Austen house and stepped forward into the vestibule* Her gloveless hands were clasped tightly together at her waistline: her eyes were fixed on the groundglass pattern in front of them as if to imprint every leaf and ’ every flower on her mind for all time. Norah opened the door and, stood there transfixed, as Rena seemed to be. The two looked at each othet silently until Norah found words: •‘So you’re back. I might better shut the door in your face.” j ”1 came for some of my things, Norah.” < "I’ll bet you did." "Let me in, please.” •‘Not till 1 have my orders.” Jerome Austen spoke from the dark entrance to the drawing-room on the right: “Why Norah, I’m amazed at you. Let Mrs. Austen iri.” 4 Norah stepped back. Rena moved slowly forward into the hall, and ; turned her head to look at the man who was smiling at her. He seemed bigger and stouter than she remembered him, a figure ' of menace. Norah closed the door, and the slam was terrifying to Rena’s ears. “1 just came back for a Yew things,” said Rena mechanically. Jerorhe began to laugh. “No, I don’t believe it,” he got out between guffaws. “It’s incredible.” "And so it is, sir," said Norah. “Never mind, Norah, just forget It,” said Jerome, “Go on, now.” Norah walked back along the hall and was swallowed up in the dark of the kitchen stairs. \ ‘‘l’ll go up," said Rena. Jerome stood grinning at her , and wagging his head. “Incredible,” he repeated. “A nice well-brought-up girl like you. Don’t you know it isn't done ? When you desert, it’s tor good; or else you come back to apologize and stay—if your husband will have you. You don’t drop in for your toothbrush, you know.” “It isn’t your business, Jerome.” “That’s very true.” He lifted his head, and Rena’s “eyes followed to where Gray stood leaning on uie railing at the head. of the stairs. The red glow from the lamp above him made him unrecognizable. “You heard this, Gray?” asked Jerome in a rallying voice. “I heard it.” M j "Want me to get them up from

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO RENA went out into the sittingroom]; Gray was still lying on the couch, his head turned away; Rena noticed for the first time that an open Gladstone bag was on a corner table, half packed. She barely glanced at it, and was crossing to the door when he spoke: "Rena.” “Yes, Gray,” she said without turning. ‘ "I can’t make this out*, any of it Could you explain before you go?” His tone was a man merely asking for Information. She said without turning: "You frightened me.” “One display of temper ? Haven’t I an excuse to lose my temper sometimes ?” “It’s all right I suppose, if people care tor each other.” She went out and down the 'stairs, opened the front door, descended the steps. Malcolm stood at the door of his convertible; Jerome, n a t less, lounged beside him with his hands in his trouser pockets, a patrolman naa wandered up and stood swirigmg his club. "That the lady ?” asked the patrolman, looking at Rena with some amusement ] “That’s our cook.” Malcolm came across the sidewalk and took the bag from her. ‘l‘Tell the officer you’re leaving voluntarily, Mrs. Austen.” (Jerome said with a smile: "We concede It. Well, It looks as though you’d get your wages regularly, Rena. Nice car." "I could make a, note of this,” offered the patrolman, with a humorous look at Jerorhe. “Quite unnecessary.” Jerome stepped away, Malcolm helped Rena into the car beside his wife, and got in himself. “Good night, all,” said Jerome, grinning. “Good night,” said Malcolm. The door slammed shut: the patrolman walked on towards Madison, Jerome went back up .the steps and into the house, Malcolm drove to Fifth avenUe. The patrolman reached the corner and put out his nand: a police car Started up and came around into the street; it followed Malcolm’s convertible into Fifth and down, stopping behind it on the park side, where lights were dim.
