Eleven patients suffering from pituitary headache (10 females and 1 male) were treated with posterior pituitary extract by mouth and subcutaneously, with disappearance of the heallaches. Pogterior lobe extract in tablet form was given orally and infundin hypodermically. The ea8e hi~tori('S of three of the patients are given in detail. Extracts of the anterior lobe were apparently without benefit. J. 'L'HOR!!'fWELL \VITHERSPOON.
