white corpuscles decreased. There was a slight loss in color also 

 during the administration of the preservative, which was partially 

 regained in the after period. 



In the case of No. 2 both the red and the white corpuscles increased 

 during the administration of the preservative and both diminished 

 during the after period. The color of the blood was also less intense 

 during both the preservative period and the after period. 



The data for No. 3 have no comparative value and are somewhat 

 fragmentary, owing to the illness of the subject. Considered indi- 

 vidually the figures show an increase in the number of red corpuscles 

 during the preservative period and a slight decrease in the after 

 period. The number of white corpuscles also increased during the 

 preservative period and decreased in the after period. The color of 

 the blood was less intense in the preservative period and partially 

 recovered in the after period. 



In the case of No. 4 there was a marked diminution both in the 

 number of the red and the white corpuscles and in the intensity of the 

 color during the administration of the preservative. There was a 

 recovery in the number of both the red and the white corpuscles in 

 the after period, but the color continued to fade. 



In the case of No. 5 no comparison can be made with one of the 

 tests, as it was lost. The remaining test shows a slight diminution in 

 the number of red corpuscles and a very great diminution in the num- 

 ber of white corpuscles and also a very slight fading of the color. 

 In the after period the red corpuscles diminished again very con- 

 siderably in number. The white corpuscles increased but the color 

 faded still more. 



No. 6 showed a marked increase in the number of red corpuscles 

 during the administration of the preservative, a slight loss in white 

 corpuscles, and a slight increase in the intensity of the color. During 

 the after period the number of red corpuscles very greatly dimin- 

 ished, the number of white corpuscles slightly increased, and the 

 color diminished in intensity. 



In the case of No. 7 the number of red corpuscles very markedly 

 decreased during the administration of the preservative, the number 

 of white corpuscles increased, and the color faded very perceptibly. 

 During the after period the number of red corpuscles was again 

 greatly diminished, the number of white corpuscles slightly dimin- 

 ished, and the color slightly increased, not reaching, however, that of 

 the fore period. 



In the case of No. 8 the number of red corpuscles increased during 

 the administration of the preservative and the number of white cor- 

 puscles was almost doubled. The color of the blood was slightly 

 decreased. There was a diminution of the red corpuscles during the
