the primary idea of the factory is to produce anti-toxin which is the modem treatment fordiph iheriii m idl its forms and symptoms the anti-toxin ifl produced on a large scale by injecting into horses gradually increasing doms i poison called toxin produced bv the growth of the diph theria bacillus for a denfinite tit |(. and under certain conditions these injec tions are continued for a time which varies considerably until the horse in immunized or in other words until certain definite conditions or changes are produced in his blood this toxin is nrst obtained by securing a culture of the throat of a person arl'icted with diphtheria the germs aie allowed to develi p and grow under favorable con ditions in blood when the excreta in this blood is sufficient an aci.l is in seited which destroys the germ life the solution is then boiled and filtered this is toxin the poison a small amount is then injected in the hack of a healthy horse and the injections pro portionally increased for weeks until his system becomes thoroughly infected the first action is to temporarily par alyse the horse but he recovers and the treatment does not injure him at all ai certain times once every three weeks such an animal is bleed and the blood allowed to stand iii refrigerators such blood contains corpuscles librin and serum and the latter is of value about one-eighth of ikie amount taken is the

the primary idea of the factory is to produce anti-toxin which is the modem treatment fordiph iheriii m idl its forms and symptoms the anti-toxin ifl produced on a large scale by injecting into horses gradually increasing doms i poison called toxin produced bv the growth of the diph theria bacillus for a denfinite tit |(. and under certain conditions these injec tions are continued for a time which varies considerably until the horse in immunized or in other words until certain definite conditions or changes are produced in his blood this toxin is nrst obtained by securing a culture of the throat of a person arl'icted with diphtheria the germs aie allowed to develi p and grow under favorable con ditions in blood when the excreta in this blood is sufficient an aci.l is in seited which destroys the germ life the solution is then boiled and filtered this is toxin the poison a small amount is then injected in the hack of a healthy horse and the injections pro portionally increased for weeks until his system becomes thoroughly infected the first action is to temporarily par alyse the horse but he recovers and the treatment does not injure him at all ai certain times once every three weeks such an animal is bleed and the blood allowed to stand iii refrigerators such blood contains corpuscles librin and serum and the latter is of value about one-eighth of ikie amount taken is the
