The results are given in the tables. Table 1 shows that the 

 subject developed the decrease in the carbon dioxide combining 

 capacity of the plasma described by Peters and Geyelin 3 , and 

 Hubbard and Wright (loc. cit.) as well as a rise in blood sugar. 

 The determinations of the alveolar carbon dioxide tension were 

 not very satisfactory, but they showed a decrease which rough- 

 ly paralleled the changes in the carbon dioxide combining ca- 

 pacity of the plasma.

Under "cent." (control) are listed the results from the experiments 

 when no adrenalin was taken. These results are listed in sequence. 



Under "exp. " (experiment) are listed the results obtained on the second 

 day — the day on which the adrenalin was given. 



Table 2 shows the determinations made on the urine on the 

 day when adrenalin was given contrasted with similar deter- 

 minations on the three control days. The acidity of the urine 

 alone showed any change, and that change was slight. The 

 reaction of the specimen collected from eleven to twelve o'clock 

 after the adrenalin was given showed a more marked increase 

 in acidity (1.2 P„) over the specimen collected during the pre- 

 ceeding hour than did similar specimens on the control days.
