    Abstract:
    After partial or total removal of salivary glands, parotid glands secreted practically the whole amount of alpha-amylase, DN-ase, and major portion of RN-ase, the submandibular glands providing more than 2/3 of the whole production of salivain. Comparison of output of enzymes with or without pilocarpin stimulation showed parotid glands to be the glands with periodical secretion and submandibular glands--with permanent secretion.
