“How will the Next War be Waged?
This is the question that is now being asked, and it is a question of universal interest. Will the next war be one of medicine? asks a contemporary. It is to be hoped not - most devoutly; and yet Professor Sherrington’s words, in the course of a lecture at the Royal Institute recently, portend some such result in future wars. Speaking of an extract from the suprarenal* capsules of the calf, he said “The distribution of the effect of this extraordinary substance was that it favoured the nutritive condition of everything concerned with a great effort..What could be more beneficient, then, than a small amount of extract at the moment of the occurence of this great struggle?”
Commenting on this extraordinary suggestion, our esteemed contemporary remarks: “ The plan might have its uses for conscientious objectors**, but we are bound to regard with great suspicion any proposal that a morning dose should be dealt out (in jam) to men in the trenches. It is eminently unfitting that those who have been accustomed to regard the lion as their prototype should be indebted for their courage to the calf.”
* Adrenal glands of a calf. I think he is suggesting using the hormones found within to treat fatigue and combat stress. Adrenaline and cortisol I assume.
** The ‘esteemed contemporary’ is sugesting that only ‘cowards’ such as conscientious objectors should be given such treatment. It’s pretty clear. Especially as he adds that the men in the trenches are already brave enough to ‘regard the lion as their prototype’.

Looking for someone who will pick up a bat & hit me with it so I can knock out & finally go to sleep.
0Feeling really g’d up from melbs, who wants to spend the whole afternoon and night playing 500 with yours truly?!
0Well, my fuck buddy just got into a relationship so its back to the drawing board. Taking applications 😂
0If someone could be here to massage both my scalp and my feet until I fell asleep, that would probably be the most wonderful thing that could happen to me tonight, short of having another dream involving the evil firefighter.
1Completely read my timetable for the first week of uni orientation wrong. Thought I had to be up at 6 am but I don’t even need to be there til 12.50pm and it’s only for 3 hours, although if I get there at midday there is free food. Even then, the 3 hours is just comprised of a Powhiri at the campus Marae (Google it, non-NZ followers! Maori traditions are pretty wicked), and then just being intoduced to the staff and our class for the year. Still stressing out over it, but three hours seems almost bearable to my anxiety.
