An Experimental Study of the Thyroid Gland of Dogs, with Especial Consideration of Hypertrophy of This Gland

By William Halsted

"An Experimental Study of the Thyroid Gland of Dogs, With Especial Consideration of Hypertrophy of This Gland" presents a detailed exploration of thyroid physiology and pathology in canines. Authored by William Halsted, this historical study from 1896 offers insights into the structure and function of the thyroid gland, focusing particularly on instances of hypertrophy. The research methodology involves experimental procedures conducted on dogs, providing a foundation for understanding thyroid-related disorders.

This work is valuable for those interested in the history of medicine, comparative endocrinology, and veterinary science. It provides a glimpse into the early approaches to studying glandular functions and their implications for animal health. The findings contribute to a broader understanding of physiological processes and potential interventions related to thyroid conditions.
