is TO prevent the formation OF excessive
glucose In the blood In their expert
ments they have used dextrose, which, as
we have seen, is form OF glucose; and
we need not here make any distinction.
They hope eventually to elaborate by
chemical processes some substance which
may supply what is left wanting through
defective pancreatic action. They found
In their experiments that the normal dog
easily disposes of n solution of dextrin
injected into the vein; but that the dog
cannot dispose Of any such injection af-
ter his pancreas is removed-that Is, his
kidney secretion will show the de1trose.
But when in a dog thus depancreatized
the dextrose was injected mixed with an
emulsion Of pancreas, rubbed to fine
particles and strained, the injected ma
tcrial was very comfortably disposed of,
and within a normal period leaving no
presence of sugar in the kidney secre.
ton. Thus it would seem proved that
the pancreas In health digests sugars
and starches; nay, it possibly also in
health manufactures a ferment which
would have the effect of preventing dia-
betes.
1t appears to be the aim OF Dr. Meltzer
and his colleague to perfect a remedy
against diabetes the basis Of which
would be an extract Of the normal pan
creas OF animals, as Of the sheep; this
Sleeps pancreas is already a common
article OF food, listed as sweetbread on
bills of fare. Such a remedy would cer-
tainly contain the sugar and starch d.
costing ferments which are lacking in
the pancreas of the diabetes sufferer.
The success OF such q remedy is alto
gether probable, because practically the
same object has been attained with re-
gard to the disease called myxoedema,
which comes about through loss of the
function Of the thyroid gland in the
throat. Splendid results in patients with
myxoedema have followed administration
Of the extract Of the thyroid glands Of
sheep.
But let us now consider brief state
ment Of the nature Of diabetes In chill
dren. Such immature and pitiable suf
ferers manifest great thirst, their kidney
secretion is uncommonly increased in
quantity, and it contains enormous GUAM
titles Of sugar. Those children have
sweetened breaths and are very prone to
skin diseases-boils, carbuncles, gan
creme. Their sight becomes blurred.
Very many Of them are Of Jewish par
entage. Children having diabetes are
very apt to be OF neurotic, a hysteric.

distinct hereditary tendency to diabetes,
