Summary Paroxysmal auricular and nodal tachycardia in the newborn is recognized by a heart rate of over 180 per minute and is most safely treated with digitalis. Good response was obtained with 1/2 cat unit followed in four hours by 1/4 cat unit in an infant weighing nine pounds four ounces. One cat unit is the upper limit of the safe amount to give a newborn infant. Five older children with this condition failed to show the tendency of the newborn to persistent high rate and congestive failure.

Summary In summary, we suggest that chronic intestinal indigestion may beprecipitated by a number of factors, infectious, emotional, allergic, but, that since all of those suggested do not commonly produce the disorder in otherwise normal children, Andersens4 assumption of an underlying constitutional defect seems valid, and that in some instances this defect is a thyroid deficiency, while in others it is in the nature of a secondary hypothyroidism resulting from nitrogen and caloric deficits, in which cases thyroid in small doses is indicated for its anabolic effect. We do not feel that thyroid deficiency explains all cases but that a numberwill be found in whom the defect will be referable to other mechanisms relating to protein synthesis. The role of the liver in these cases warrants further study.

Electroencephalograms were performed upon 14 infants with congenital heart disease under conditions of varying oxygen saturation. The minimum oxygen saturations were 49 to 88 per cent and the maximum were 65 to 99 per cent. Infants who had at least 10 per cent improvement in oxygen saturation are recorded here. Six infants had a decrease and 8 had an increase of electroencephalographic waves of 1 to 4 per second with an increase in oxygen saturation. An increase of 10 per cent or more in the oxygen saturation of the blood did not produce a significant change in the EEG.

Summary The mortality was studied in a group of 27,374 children over a twenty-year period and a comparison was drawn between a program in which were stressed prophylaxis and constant attention to an improved general state and one in which medical care was given chiefly during illness. A striking decrease in mortality was demonstrated, which was greater than could be attributed to the improvement noted in the figures for the population at large and for similar groups of wards of charitable agencies.

Summary Details of treatment of sixteen cases of phlyctenular conjunctivitis are given. It is important to determine the smallest amount of tuberculin to which the patient will give an intradermal reaction and to start desensitizing injections below this point. If reactions are encountered either locally at the site of injection or at the focus of infection, or generally, with rise of temperature, the amount of tuberculin must be lowered again. In most cases acute inflammation can be overcome in from three to six weeks and sight can be restored, except for an occasional corneal scar.
