There is much question at the present time as to the existence of a separate luteinizing hormone. The generally accepted idea is that there is one anterior lobe sex stimulating hormone which produces sexual development and the premenstrual ovarian phenomena.

Correction: Patient 2, aged 40, who was used in the experiments evidently had the uterus removed. This woman had had the laparotomy done by a physician in his private office and was immediately removed to her home. No record was obtainable and no statement could be had from the physician. The patient was not certain as to what organs had been removed. One of the gynecologists who assisted me made an examination of the patient and decided that the uterus had not been removed. Although the supposed uterus was small, and the depth of the cavity, including the cervical canal, by measurement was 1½ inches, or 37.5 mm., long, this was thought to be due to atrophy as a result of the operation. This woman was treated as the other patients were for the first eighty-nine days and for two and one-half months subsequently, but she gave no evidence of menstruation. Tissue obtained from seven curettements done at various times throughout the experiment failed to show any endometrial tissue at any time; in other words, only cervical tissue was found. The foregoing facts lead to the conclusion that patient 2 had the body of the uterus removed and had a long cervical canal. However, since she responded in every way as did the other patients, except as to menstruation, which was impossible, her record will be retained in this article.
A plentiful amount of this hormone was supplied by Parke, Davis & Co.
