I desire to call attention to a mode of treatment which has not yet been generally adopted in cases of goitre, and to submit two cases in which thyroid gland was administered. The preparation used was five grains of the extract in tabloid form. The result in both cases was highly encouraging, though one was much more so than the other from a mental point of view.
