AB The advantages of dextrose given intraperitoneally as recently demonstrated by Grulee and Sanford1 have been amply confirmed in this department. Because of its importance in therapy, it seemed desirable to devise a simpler method for the preparation of the dextrose. We have used no special apparatus and hence it should be available for the use of every physician.TECHNIC 
    Five grams of chemically pure, finely ground dextrose is weighed and placed in a test tube approximately 4 by ¾ inches (100 mm. by 15 mm.) and the test tube is loosely stoppered with a cotton plug.
