Dietary Deficiencies on the Suprarenal Glands.

7. The oedema which occurs in some cases of experimental polyneuritis is 

 not due to increased output of adrenaline. Daily administration of adrenaline 

 to birds fed on normal or polished rice does not cause oedema, nor does it 

 accelerate or retard the onset of polyneuritis in pigeons on a polished rice 

 diet. 



I desire to express my indebtedness to the Medical Eesearch Council for 

 the facilities given me to carry out this work in their Department of 

 Biochemistry, and especially to Dr. H. H. Dale, F.R.S., for much helpful 

 criticism and advice.
