Abstract
Sulfanilamide and phenobarbital were found to reduce the degree of experimental hyperthyroidism produced by thyrotropic hormone or thyroxin in guinea pigs, by a general depressant action. Chloral acted similarly, but was quite toxic. Testosterone, testosterone plus colchicine, and calcium gluconate, in tolerable doses, did not demonstrably affect the degree of hyperthyroidism from thyrotropic hormone.
