DISCUSSION 



SULKIN: I think it might be of interest to recall some ex- 

 periments that were reported in the early twenties by Bronfen- 

 brenner and Weiss^ in which it was shown that ether anesthesia, 

 alone and in combination with specific antitoxin, decreased mor- 

 tality in experimental botulism in mice. On the basis of these 

 early studies, I became interested in the effect of anesthesia on 

 experimental viral infections^ and found that many animals
