In a previous paper one of us (N. B. E.) reported the effect on full-grown rabbits of subcutaneous injections of desiccated thymus substance (Armour & Company). The doses administered were 10 mgm. and 20 mgm. per kilogram of body weight dissolved in a mixture of one part of glycerine to four parts of physiological saline solution. For control, other rabbits were injected with the glycerine-saline mixture. Each rabbit received forty injections during a period of eight weeks. At the conclusion of the experiment, half of the rabbits were autopsied. Both control and thymus rabbits gained in weight, the former 18.31 per cent, the latter 17.85 per cent. There was no apparent difference in the behavior of the two groups of animals. At autopsy the thyroid glands of the thymus rabbits averaged slightly heavier, 8.57 per cent, than those of the controls. There were no differences in the other organs. Before this paper appeared, Olkon reported a series of experiments in which he had injected desiccated thymus gland ...
