The glycosuria and glycæmia were transient, and we feel that they do not represent diabetes mellitus. Most of the patients of this class had long since recovered from an attack of influenza, and came to the hospital usually for treatment of various nervous conditions, which at times simulated neuritis, or otherwise one saw manifestations of general nervousness, not unlike hyperthyroidism. In all probability, we were dealing with a hyperglycæmia associated with a hyperactive thyroid gland. So, after all, the glycosuria, even though rare, is not bewildering. Symptoms and signs of toxic goitre in direct relation to the epidemic we claim to have seen, and one is justified, temporarily at least, in having the thyroid gland father our transient glycosuria. In relation to the positive sugar findings, we have had numerous negative examples of almost equal interest. Furunculosis is a very common sequel of the epidemic. It is well known that in furunculosis there is a hyperglycæmia, but no glycosuria and no acetone or diacetic acid in the urine. All our blood sugar readings were above the normal, and at times unusually high. They varied from .2 to .41. This last unusually high amount was in a young physician with recurrent furunculosis following influenza. There was no glycosuria at any time. Elimination of carbohydrates not only brought the blood sugar to normal limits in the course of a week, but also assisted in the cure of the furunculosis, but in a longer time. In all of this group we saw no incidence of polyuria or glycosuria. _Hematology_
