Stolz. Friedrich (Ber., v. 37, pp. 4149-4254), discusses adrenalin 
and alkylaminoacetylcatechol, reports results identical with those of 
Jowett, and suggests the possibility of a synthesis of the base by 
reducing methylaminoacetylcatechol. — Abstr. in J. Chem. Soc., Lond., 
1905, y. 88, part 2, p. 106. 
Ehrmann, R., presents a comparatrre test for adrenalin which de- 
pends on the method outlined by Meltzer and Auer (Am. J. Physiol.. 
1904, y. 11, p. 419) of determining the action of this substance on 
the enucleated eye of a frog.— Arch. f. expt. Path. u. Pharmakol., 
1905, y. 53, pp. 97-111. 
Ehrmann. Kud.. discusses the work done by Langley ( J. Physiol.. 
y. 27, p. 237) and concludes that adrenalin produces a marked increase 
in the secretion of the cutaneous glands of the frog. Atropine, it was 
found, did not control this increased action, as the atropine itself was 
rapidly eliminated in this way. — Ibid., pp. 137-139. 
De Vos and Kochmann report a series of experiments made to deter- 
mine the rapidity with which the actiYe principle of the suprarenal 
capsule is absorbed or destroyed when injected intraYenously. — Arch, 
internat. de Pharmacol, et de Therap.. 1905, y. 14, pp. 81-91. 
Loewi, O., discusses the action of synthetic, adrenalin-like, prod- 
ucts, and the probable constitution of adrenalin. — Arch. f. expt. Path, 
u. Pharmacol., 1905, y. 53, pp. 213-226. 
Benedicenti, A. (Giornale d. R. Acad, di Med. di Torino, y. 48, pp. 
553-571), records his obserYations of the action of adrenalin on the 
pancreas secretion in dogs. — Abstr. in Jahresb. (for 1905) ii. d. Tier- 
Chemie, IViesbaden, 1906, y. 35, pp. 485-487. 
Loeb and Githens report a series of experiments made to determine 
the effect of experimental or abnormal conditions on the effect pro- 
duced by adrenalin. Among the conditions studied were : Influence 
of thyroidectomy, influence of renal lesions, influence of pregnancy, 
and the relation of certain other lesions. — Am. J. M. Sc.. 1905, v. 130. 
pp. 658-670. 
Mofler, S., reports an experimental study of the action of adrenalin 
the circulation. — Therap. Monatsh., 1905, y. 19, p. 546. 
Josue. O. (J. de Physiol, et de Path, gen., y. 7, p. 690), reports a 
histologic study of the atheromatous conditions of arteries supposedly 
produced by the use of adrenalin. — Biochem. Centralbl.. 1905, y. 4, 
p. 376. 
Foa and Gatin discuss the action of adrenalin on the reaction of the 
blood. — Compt.-rend. Soc. de Biol.. Paris, 1905, y. 75, pp. 145-148. 
Bouchart, A. (Rec. d'Ophth., 1905, y. 27, pp. 30-36), discusses acci- 
dents attributable to adrenalin and reports an accident with the use of 
adrenalin in the eye, resulting in a permanent opacity of the cornea, 
irregular contraction of the pupil, and considerable change in the 
iris. — Biochom. Centralbl., 1905, y. 4, p. 171.
