normal dogs and two dogs with coli injections were carefully 

 studied, being kept in a comfortable recumbent position through- 

 out the day without anesthesia. The following table illustrates 

 the results:

From the table it is obvious that dextrose given intravenously 

 in fever dogs produces a plethora. The volume change is approxi- 

 mately two to three times as exten sive as that produced by corre- 

 sponding injections in normal dogs. The normal dogs (Fig. 1) 

 showed no diminution in temperature, but after about half an 

 hour the curve began to rise, maximum increases of 0.4 0 and 0.3 0 

 respectively, having been noted. The return to normal occurs 

 after about three hours. In the fever dogs (Fig. 2), on the other 

 hand, the temperature was depressed within fifteen minutes in 

 the one case falling 0.4 0 and in the other case 0.6°. This was 

 followed by a prompt return to and above the former level. In
