augmented by the blood counts made by Dr. M. D. Hoge, Jr., Professor of Pathology in the University College of Medicine. When it is remembered that the patients were all confined to bed; that they were recovering from the effects of serious surgical operations, and that they were subjected to the depressing influence of hospital life, the average increase of red blood corpuscles is remarkable. Had the cases been selected, and only anaemic patients tested, the results would have been showier. CASE I. Miss E. G., aged 20; patient St. Luke's Hospital.
