Theagent is destroyed by boiling (Gaylord, 1912). Theexperimental production of goitre in the human subjectby the method referred to above is thus confirmed.(7) Goitre can be produced in animals—rats, goats—by feedingthem on fascal material from goitrous and even non-goitrous subjects. This observation (fig. 32) wasconfirmed by Sazuki in 1913, who also produced the CAUSAL AGENT OR AGENTS OF GOITRE 97 disease in rats by the subcutaneous injection of ratsfaeces. The results of one of my experiments are shown infig. 32. In this case six white rats were confined in G OTt(rots. 14/CE<1Rls Ffto-cc^ Ke^t^ctAA,*--
