There are, apparently, no pyrexial effects to be noted in the above 

 experiment. The temperature of the animal is at no observation higher 

 after the injection than was observed at times in the controls.

In this experiment careful examination of the temperature variation 

 shows that the proteose injection was without effect on the day of adminis- 

 tration.
