1. Whole thyroid gland when administered simultaneously with cholesterol prevented the atheromatous changes produced by the latter in the aorta of rabbits in 17 of 19 animals. 2. In this series thyroxin was less effective, as atherosclerosis occurred in 8 of 11 rabbits. 3. Potassium iodide also exerted a strong protective action as aortic lesions were present in only 1 of a series of 12 rabbits fed cholesterol and potassium iodide concurrently. 4. The effectiveness of potassium iodide was not shared by potassium bromide or potassium chloride. 5. A relationship was noted between the level of the cholesterol in the blood and the development of atherosclerosis. In general, the aortic lesions accompanied a hypercholesterolemia.

The increment of displacement produced in 1000 grams of water at 19·5° C, when 1/2 gram-molecule of potassium chloride is dissolved in it, is 14·001 GT; when a molecularly equivalent amount of potassium bromide is dissolved in the same quantity of water, the increase in the displacement is 17·547GT; when the salt in solution is potassium iodide, the number is 22·778 GT. Replacing, therefore, the chlorine by bromine increases the displacement by 3·546 GT; and if the bromine be now replaced by iodine, there is a further increase of 5·231 GT in the displacement; or, replacing the chlorine by iodine causes an increment of displacement of 8·777 GT.
