1) The author performed the fundamental tests by means of modified Holtroff-Koch's method for the determination of urinary 17-KS.
2) The normal content of it was, on the average, 12.1mg. per day in men and 8.2mg. in women.
3) Cortisone and DOCA did not increase urinary 17-KS, and ACTH increased, as a rule, it.
4) Daily intravenous administration of T. T. G. increased it in cases with the normal content before the injection, but it seemed to be indefinite that whether or not urinary 17-KS was increased in cases with the decreased content before the injection.
5) Every other day intravenous administration of typhoid vaccine showed an irregular fluctuation of urinary 17-KS in the early stage, but the fluctuation became stable as the injection is continued.
6) Rectangular low frequency current therapy did not increase urinary 17-KS as long as it is within cure dose.
