258 THE INTERNAL SECRETIONS—1920 
My. E., aged 51, ill for four years. Hemoglobin, 47 
per cent.; reds, 2,200,000; whites, 3,800. The prostra- 
tion and weakness in this case were unusually great. 
He was nine months under treatment during which time 
he had a number of bad teeth removed. He also evi- 
dently had an infected gall bladder and pyorrhea. He 
had previously received ten transfusions and following 
the routine treatment already mentioned, is now appar- 
ently in perfect health, with a normal blood picture, at 
his usual occupation, with a weight increase of twenty 
pounds. 
Mr. G., aged 64 years. Condition diagnosed as per- 
nicious anemia at Rochester, Minn. Had had three 
transfusions with no permanent improvement. He had 
a condition of pyorrhea, which involved all the teeth. 
The history indicated a gonococcus infection four years 
before, with no other infection. All the teeth were re- 
moved. After a few injections of Gonococcus Phylaco- 
gen, a prostatic abcess was developed which, on drain- 
ing by incision, evacuated over six ounces of pus. 
Gonococcus Phylacogen was continued with hydriodic 
acid and other tonics, including thyroid by mouth. 
Rapid improvement, full recovery and the patient has 
now been well for three years with no relapses. 
Mr. N., aged 41 vears. History indicated that he had 
suffered from a rectal abscess two years before. The 
hemoglobin index was 32 per cent. The blood picture 
of pernicious anemia was typical. In general, the treat- 
ment was given as above and recovery to a normal 
blood picture was accomplished in four months, since 
which time he has continued well and at active work. 
Mrs. P., aged 40. Had a very serious attack of in- 
fluenza in 1918, since then has been repeatedly jaun- 
diced. The history shows that she has suffered from 
anemia for four years, and at present the hemoglobin 
is 40 per cent., the red cells 1,104,000, and the micro- 
scopical examination of the cells indicates their mark- 
edly deranged shape and size. The above treatment 
has caused rapid improvement and she is still under my 
care. 
Mr. P., aged 45. This man has suffered from jaun- 
dice, which has extended at times as long as a year. He 
has had an infected right antrum, following an injury 
to the face. All the teeth had been removed. Transfu-
