In a series of cases studied at the U. S. Army General Hospital No. 41, Fox Hills, Staten Island, N. Y., over a period of five months, such interesting manifestations were noted from an endocrinologic and myopathic standpoint, that their publication seems warranted. REPORT OF CASES Case 1.\p=m-\Anadvanced instance of polyglandular disturbance, characterized by a dystrophia adiposo-genitalis, precipitated by influenza, associated with a muscular dystrophy, and unusual reactions of the vegetative nervous system. A consideration of the endocrine balance and the metabolism findings is of unusual interest. C. G., white, aged 27 years, was a motorman and rancher by prewar occupation. Habits : Alcoholic beverages indulged in moderately. Used tobacco. He smoked about a dozen cigarettes daily; a pipe occasionally. Family History.\p=m-\Fatherliving and well ; mother dead of unknown cause ; no brothers or sisters. No history of tuberculosis; no nervous, mental or endocrinologic diseases in the family. Previous History.\p=m-\Pneumoniaand measles in childhood. Mumps in February, 1918, unassociated with any testicular involvement. No venereal diseases. Present Illness.-This dates its inception to an attack of influenza in July, 1918. At that time he was in bed one week, and suffered from pains in his bones, malaise and weakness. He states that his temperature reached 106 F. on a number of days, and he then was delirious. In the latter part of July, 1918, he was returned to duty, stayed at the front about ten days and then was sent back to the hospital for a right-sided pleurisy, which had appeared during his initial attack of influenza. He remained in the hospital this time for seven weeks, suffering from a fibrinous pleurisy (right side). In October, 1918, he again returned to duty, remaining in that status until March, 1919.
