below normal levels ^ postoperative hyperthermia has been re- 

 ported. Rectal temperatures may reach maximal limits within 

 24 hours after operation while shock is pronounced and no 

 infection appears to be present; decreases are rapid following 

 treatment for shock » The phenomenon has been noted after gastric 

 operations, particularly when cancer or ulcer have been found. 

 The clinical picture is one of coldness of the extremities, marked 

 blood pressure reductions, oliguria; the pathology represented 

 included oedema of cerebrum, vasodilatation, stasis and intra- 

 vascular space alterations. Serous exudate of the nervous 

 tissue was noted in the brain stem. It is suggested that hyper- 

 adrenalemia would produce similar symptoms (arteriolar contractions 

 paleness^ piloerection and perspiration). It has been shown 

 that adrenalin itself may be pyrogenic. Impedance of blood flow 

 at the portion near the vena cava may be a factor.
