      Abstract

      • 1.
        1. The serum magnesium of 40 normal medical students varied between 1.74 and 3.10 mg. per 100 c.c., with a mean value of 2.33 mg.
      • 2.
        2. The blood sera of 66 patients suffering with bronchial asthma were analyzed for their magnesium content with an analysis of the results.
      • 3.
        3. The treatment of two patients with parenteral injections of magnesium sulfate is reported.
