TABLE VI ORIGINAL CASES 

 BLOOD COUNT IN 22 CASES OF INOPERABLE CANCER BEFORE TREATMENT 



THE SAME 22 CASES AFTER AN AVERAGE PERIOD OF 41 DAYS OF PROTEAL TREATMENT 



Modification of the blood count following the administration of fairly vigorous Proteal 

 treatment. Particular attention is called to the notable increase in the large mononudears. 

 Such a modification is certainly one of the most characteristic, and perhaps the most impor- 

 tant, of the changes brought about by the proteal treatment. Note also the increase in 

 haemoglobin and in red corpuscles, and the decrease in white corpuscles as a whole and in the 

 percentage of polynuclears. 



These cases are grouped together simply because they are cases in which an original blood 

 count, made before treatment, was supplemented by a subsequent count after treatment. 

 They are otherwise quite unselected, and are strictly comparable to the cases shown in the 

 earlier chart. The blood picture of the treated cases shows wide departure from the type- 

 picture supplied by the 99 untreated cases.
