in every such case that we have observed, the whole temperature 
after injection dropped conspicuously and death speedily followed. 
Chart C (text-fig. 3) represents such a case.

These advanced subjects, the only ones in which positive re- 
actions have not been given in presence of tuberculosis, do not 
impair the practical value of the test, for they are quickly 
eliminated by death. 
In one respect, mainly of pathological interest, much remains 
to be determined, in the proportion between the degree of re- 
action and the extent of the tuberculous lesions. 
So far, we have 
found an apparent lack of any such constant relation except as 
noted in very advanced cases, in which, under the large doses of 
tuberculin used, temperature has made a marked drop. 
The necessity for an inflexible practice in the interpretation of
