Rush Medical College of the University of Chicago, Presbyterian Hospital, and Central Free Dispensary Chicago, Illinois

THE EFFECT OF an estrogenic substance, alpha estradiol benzoate, upon the volume of the seminal fluid was studied in five men.

The alpha-estradiol benzoate (1) was given by intramuscular injection in doses which varied from 6,000 to 12,000 R.U. 3 to 6 times a week. Table 1 shows the number of patients, specimens examined, and the volume of seminal fluid obtained before, during and after treatment, also the total amount of alpha-estradiol benzoate injected and the number of injections given during each period. Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 were prepared from the data in the table and they illus trate the changes in the volume of the seminal fluid.
