Intraperitoneal injection of 1 or 2 cc. of washed antiplatelet 

 serum was followed by an injection of either B. coli or E. 

 typhosa organisms. Within 30 minutes the temperature had risen; 

 there were fewer organisms present yet mortality was even higher 

 than that of the control groups. Washed guinea pig platelets 

 markedly reduced the number of organisms (E. typhosa ) in cir- 

 culation, and activity exceeded that seen after erythrocytes were 

 injected.

Use of vaccines in prevention and treatment of influenza and 

 its sequelae 



J. A.M. A. 76:2H, 1921 



A single vaccine prepared from organisms believed to be causa- 

 tive or conjunctive in influenza, or typhoid protein preparations 

 may be used with good effect. Many excellent reports have been 

 made of good results from the use of a mixed vaccine containing 

 those organisms most frequently found in fatal cases (Pneurnococci, 

 Streptococci , Staphylococci and B , influenzae ) .

Changes in the leukocytes and the alkali reserves of the blood 

 in experimental infections 



J. Infect. Dis. 28:275-278, I92I 



Intravenous Injection of bacteria caused leukopenia and alkali 

 reserve depletion for about 2 hours afterwards. The normal 

 alkali reserves parallelled the return of leukocytosis.

Foreign protein therapy in acute infections 

 J. A.M. A. 76:308, 1921 



Foreign protein modified the course and mortality rate of typhoid 

 fever. Approximately 40 per cent of patients recover after 2 

 or 3 injections; the disease terminates by crisis or by lysis. 

 For at least 20 per cent of the patients, such injections shorten 

 the period of illness. "In sepsis and septic endocarditis the 

 blood became sterile within 24 hours after the febrile reaction.
