Abstract
UP to the present time, physiologists have been especially concerned with the study of the acute effects of high altitudes or of acute mountain sickness. As a consequence of the work of Prof. Monge of Lima, who both discovered and studied chronic mountain sickness as manifested in human beings, we, in our turn, have investigated the experimental effects of high altitudes on animals. We believe that in this way we may be able to discover more about the mechanism of adaptation of organisms to altitude, and thus explain the pathogenesis of Carlos Monge's disease.
