 alone, and case 7 (Group A) responded to thyroid plus diet and exercise. 

 The ovarian and testicular hormones are hot essential and are of doubtful

Fig. 26. This figure represents the type of case in which fat is redistributed by 

 administration of thyroid and pituitary therapy. 



The effect of correcting chronic suppurative sinusitis and organo- 

 therapy upon hypopyrexia is illustrated in Figure 27. 



In the pluriglandular cases Timme(a) has reported remarkable success

 occasionally using "pituitrin" hypodermically 0.5 to 1 c.c. per day or 

 alternate days for periods of a week or two. He uses the anterior lobe in 

 cases with pronounced genital delay. Stellwagen has employed the an- 

 terior lobe successfully in the treatment of impotence, and Tucker in doses 

 of ten to thirty grains reported favorable results in epilepsy. Visual field 

 disturbances, the result of pituitary disease,, have been restored to normal 

 by the combined medication of pituitary and thyroid gland substance (de
