The antipyretic action of dextrose. 

 By Henry G. Barbour. 



[From the Department of Pharmacology of the Yale University 

 School of Medicine. 1 ] 



Dextrose (30 gms. in 250 c.c. water) given per os with acetyl 

 salicylic acid (1 gm.) in a case of chronic tuberculosis was followed 

 within 2\ hours by a fall in rectal temperature from 38. 03 0 C. to 

 36. 02° C. In numerous observations upon this and other "labile" 

 individuals under like conditions acetyl salicylic acid (1 gm. with 

 250 c.c.) never has produced a fall of temperature exceeding 1.1 0 C. 

 in the same length of time.
