The standard mean value of number of the circulating baso and eosinophiles of healthy Japanese were counted by staining of our original method and Manners' method respectively.
The blood to be counted was obtained from the antecubital vein and have been measured by the direct chamber method.
On the basis of the standard values of the number of circulating both kinds of leucocyte in 1 mm3 blood, the blood obtained from the patients of toxic, non-toxic struma and pregnant women at the moments of parturition were studied.
The results are summarized as fallows:
1) Severe decrease was found in cases of toxic struma and of parturition. About one third of both groups decrease to zero to one figure was found at the same sampling. On the contrary, both leucocytes showed rather increase in non-toxic struma.
2) By rational treatments, with recovery of symptoms of the patient, the numbers of baso-and eosinophiles in the blood showed also restoration to their mean value of healthy adults.
3) It seems conceivable that the decrease or increase of the circulating baso-and eosinophiles were due, at least, to hormones from adrenal-, pituitary-, thyroid glande and ovarium.
Functions of the autonomic nervous system have been considered to be intimately related.
