THYMUS GLAND 159 A simple test for adrenal insufficiency is as fol-lows: The oral administration of suprarenal extractto normal individuals does not cause a rise of blood-pressure, and when a rise follows exhibition of the drugby the mouth, it indicates suprarenal is first determined and then 3 grain dosesof the extract are administered thrice daily for 3 increase of pressure suggests Addisons disease,if there is no valvular cardiac lesion. A pressure riseof more than 10 per cent, is absolutely diagnostic of adre-nal insufiiciency. No drug should be taken for 3 dayspreceding the first observation. Thymus gland.—This gland yields a neutral dulingenergy, i. e., the energy producing stomach dulness is dissi-pated by both poles of a bar-magnet. A like reaction isobtainable from pharmaceutical thymus preparations. The thymus attains its maximum size at the end of thesecond yea
