Chemical Re-Action Not Soulful Emotion
(By International News Service)
NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 7.
When a young chap looks into a fair lady's eyes and feels a funny sensation which he believes is "soulful emotion" he is wrong. What he is experiencing is a chemical reaction.
This declaration of all those "Divine emotions" was made by Dr. Joseph S. Hughes, professor of chemistry at Kansas Agric. college, in an address here.
Any emotion, in fact, he said, such as love, hate, jealousy, etc. is caused by secretions in certain glands.
Experiments by Dr. Hughes tend to verify this, he said.
"By injecting a chemical compound to counteract the gland irritation and chemical formation," he said.
