258 THE INTERNAL SECRETIONS 1920 



Mr. 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 years. 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-
