2. There is evidence from Martland's reports (JAMA and elsewhere) that von Sochocky became an experimental subject from whom Martland was able to make detailed analysis. 'During the time I knew him he gave all that was in him to help and comfort others suffering from this disease. Without his valuable aid and suggestions we would have been greatly handicapped in our investigation.' (JAMA 9th February 1929)
