Tliese cases presented themselves in my practice diu'lng the last two years. Some of them I have had under observation for some years, an advantage rarely enjoyed by consulting and Hospital physicians. Case I.

Has been anaemic some years, but has felt no inconvenience till last few weeks, when she has had much j)alpilation and short breath. Has lost flesh. Slie is very chlorotic, very thin, and short of breath. Heart, very heaving irregular imjiulse, distinct hypertrophy. Pulse lOO, irregular. Faint basic murmur, most marked over })ulmonary areji. Menses regular. Constipation constant. Slight ])roptosis. Grafe's sign not present. Distinct uniform goitre. Given iron, arsenic, and digitalis; improved rapidly. In Maich 1891 continues well. Tliere were no other signs; no trembling, .sickness, diarrhoea, or [)sychical changes. Case II.—Miss C , born 1870, Board school-mistress. In the spring of 1890 she had e[)idemic influenza, and has been ever since ill a state of great nervous depression, almost melancholic iit times. Soon after tlie influenza she noliced swelling of the neck. This subsided, and by Christmas 1890 it had almost gone. A few weeks after it reappeared, and in Mjircli 1891 it increased rapidly.
