In the present investigations with rabbits, peptone was intraven-ously injected in doses varying from 0.1-1.1 grin. per cent of body weight.
The CO2 content and the O2 content of the blood varied thereupon not so significantly in the normal animals, but the animals deprived bilaterally of the both suprarenal glands or of the splanchnic nerves reacted upon peptone with some reduction of the CO2 content of the blood. It would be difficult to point to definite changes in respect to the O2 content. The animal operated on was poisoned with peptone two weeks to 1 month, or infrequently two to three months after the last operation.
