During the last few years the use of electroconvulsive therapy in the treatment of out-patients has greatly increased. For example, in 1951, one hundred and forty-one treatments were given in the out-patient department of Freedom Fields Hospital, Plymouth, while in 1955, four hundred and sixty-four were given. There is no doubt that the number of treatments given to out-patients has increased even more in the country as a whole, as many hospitals did not start giving E.C.T. on an out-patient basis until well after 1951.

For this study, calcium level in the blood was studied in 20 normal individuals between the ages of 20 and 25 years to find out the normal serum-calcium level in them in order that this finding might serve as a control. It was found to vary from 8·9 to 11·0 mg. per cent. (see Table I).
