Abstract
IT has been shown (Dodds, Noble and Smith1, Dodds and Noble2) that it is possible to prepare an extract of the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland which, when injected subcutaneously or intravenously into animals, will cause an intensive hæmorrhagic lesion of the acid-bearing area of the stomach, from which the animals usually recover completely. Chronic ulcers may also be produced.
