The study of the dynamics of the circulatory system necessarily takes first place in the physiology of hemorrhage. I t has led to the dcvelopment of therapeutic measures which, when applied in good time, can bring about recovery in many instances after severe hemorrhage associated with profound shock. The study of metabolism after hemorrhage has as its principal objective the solution of problems raised by the limitations of the present therapeutic methods. This solution has to be based on an understanding of the metabolic changes accompanying, and perhaps responsible for, the so-called “irreversible” state of shock. One such change, the production of vasodepressor material by the anoxic ,/.
