Abstract
During the past three years some clinical applications of corticotrophic hormone have been studied, and in this paper is described a form of involutional melancholia in which hypopituitarism and secondary hypoadrenalism are factors. Nine such cases were treated with corticotrophic hormone; in addition two cases of pituitary cachexia in young women were similarly treated.Keywords
