    Four and one half years ago a study of the basal metabolism in exophthalmic goiter was started at the Massachusetts General Hospital. Preliminary reports on this work appeared in June, 1916,1 and in July, 1917.2 It was impossible for us at the latter date, because of the imminence of mobilization, to present more than the barest outline of our work, together with the conclusions drawn to that time.The original program of the research was to follow the metabolism and clinical condition of a series of cases of exophthalmic goiter over a period of several years, during which
