    I had previously reviewed in the literature concerning the adrenal cortical hormones during the Great War and I had emphasized there that the alarm reaction after Prof. Hans Selye, McGill University, Montreal, Canada, was very interesting.
    Since over ten years H. Selye has been studying systematically with his coworkers about the physiology of adrenal cortex and his communications on that problem during this period has amounted to over 50, which led him recently to the conclusive idea, that is “general adaptation syndrome (hypophysis-adrenal cortex system) and diseases of adaptation.”
    After him, as systemic reactions of the body which ensue upon exposure to various kinds of stresses, were observed complicated biochemical changes of the body fluids as well as histologic and morphologic changes in the adrenal cortex. consequently there appears a special syndrome such as _??_ nodes of cardiovascular system and transsudation to serous spaces, which may,_??_ arterioscrelosis or nephroscrelosis etc.
    We have been reinvestigating about his work, which is the interesting problem in thd field of endocrinology and we have confirmed almost the same results as him till now.

    We gave Thyradin (0.3gr.) every day for one or two weeks to patients of malnutrition who showed the negative Mantoux reaction when the dosis of 0.1cc of 1:2000 dilution of Old Tuberculin was used. The result was as follows:
    1) Some of them showed the change in their Mantoux reaction from negative to positive in a period of two weeks.
    2) The intensity of the Mantoux reaction was always equal altnough the experiment had been repeated at the several spots on the inner side of fore arm.
    3) The state of positive Mantoux reaction of this patient remains for a consiperable length of time-the longest record at present being 2 months (the experiment is still being continued)
