The folowing report of an isolated observation may be of interest in view of the wide and in- creasing use of the various preparations of the adrenal gland, which, as one of the pioneers in these therapeutic applications, I have employed freely and do employ freely with the confidence born of repeated demonstration. Rev. Father X. has been under my care for a number of years for recurring attacks of asthma. The patient is stout and plethoric, although active, mentally and physically. In addition to asthma he was troubled with hoarseness and, at times, difficulty in phonation. When first seen, exam- ination of the heart revealed no structural change, but somewhat feeble action; examination of the lungs elicited the usual phenomena of spasmodic asthma; examination of the nose disclosed no sig- nificant abnormity of structure, but considerable general congestion and slight turgescence of the middle and lower turbinates. Examination of the larynx showed thyro-arytenoid paresis of slight degree, and what, at first sight, appeared to be two papillomata symmetrically located on the two vocal bands posteriorly at their insertions into the arytenoids. The larynx was congested throughout. Spraying with adrenal solution, Read by title before the American Laryngoloeical Association.
