The serum Ch-E values were measured in child patients during the courses of their diseases, and the following results were obtained.
1) The values fell the further as the disease aggravated, but went up as convalescence progressed.
2) The values showed a very perceptible rise after spasmodic fits, as in epilepsy, ascariasis and ekiri.
3) Before death of tuberculous meningitis, miliary tuberculosis and such chronic consumptive diseases, the return Ch-E value falls below normal, but before death of acute diseases, such as acute bronchopneumonia, dyspeptic intoxication etc., the value rises considerably.
4) The lowest serum Ch-E value was observed in cases of tuberculous meningitis and highest in a cases of nephrosis.
5) As regards the changes in the clinical symptoms and the serum Ch-E values of the cases of acute infantile paralysis and cerebral palysy balneotherapy, I was led to infer a considerably close interrelation between hot-spring bathing and the serum Ch-E values.
