sion the necessity for submitting material for this test to well- 
qualified serologists if reliable results are to be obtained. A 
standard technic for the test is much to be desired but all efforts 
in this direction have failed, owing largely to the difficulty of 
securing a standard antigen, so that at the present time several 
methods of performing the test are in use, all of which are 
reliable in the hands of experienced serologists. The method 
recommended in this work has stood the test of time and has 
been used by many different workers in thousands of syphilitic 
infections, and it is believed that it is as simple in technic and as 
accurate in results as any method of performing the Wassermann 
test that has been devised.
