the Blegdam Hospital with our serum, and which show- 

 ed such unmistakable results. 



Antidiphtheric Serum is the only serum which has 

 been produced in the Department on a large scale for 

 therapeutic purposes. For the rest, the Department has 

 not restricted itself to the manufacture of serum. It 

 has tried, in different ways, to be of use to ,,the Au- 

 thorities of Health", for instance, by undertaking the 

 bacteriological diagnosis of doubtful cases af plague in 

 Denmark, and it has further been of assistance in dif- 

 ferent ways to the University in its teaching of bacterio- 

 logy. It has not itself undertaken any teaching, apart 

 from the fact that some foreign colleagues have, under 

 Dr. Madsen:s guidance, made themselves acquainted 

 with the technique of the manufacture of serum or 

 a part of the same. 



Scientific work has also been constantly carried on 

 by the Department, as may be seen from the following 

 list of publications issued during the last years.
