Blood was obtained from thyroid glands of ten individuals upon whom thyroidectomy was performed for exophthalmic goiter, three for thyroid adenoma and two colloid goiter, and tested for the presence of thyroid secretion, utilizing the "tadpole reaction." No evidence was obtained, in any of the specimens, of the presence of active thyroid material in the blood.
