Such treatment in asthmatics with no hereditary syphilis was useless and sometimes injurious. The suggestion is made that syphilis and tuberculosis are the most important, causes that condition the background of sensitivity upon which asthma develops.

He admit,s the not infrequent, concomitant appearance of syphilis and asthma but sees no valid connection between them of cause and effect.

This opinion is based upon general clinical experience and upon t,he close observation of 110 cases of infantile asthma. Infantile asthma can appear in children with hereditary syphilis or in t,uberculous children, but the aut,hor dots not, consider the relationship in either instance one of cause and effect.

A number of normal individuals and patients suffering from allergic conditions were selected. It was found that the allergic individuals in the allergen-free room gave a basal metabolism lower by an average of 15 per cent to 18 per cent than that, in the sick room.
