and mucoid, then feculent, then of a soft consistence, finally 

 becoming normal. I am fully aware of the drawbacks of this 

 method. The serum may not reach the whole area of tissue in- 

 volved, or it may fail to neutralize the toxins already absorbed 

 in the system, as has been observed in cases 13 and 17. In these 

 two cases charts were made, showing the comparative effects of 

 the serum given per rectum both on the temperature and stools. 

 It is an illustration of a case where serum per rectum is a 

 failure, because the toxin has been already absorbed by the 

 system. 



The advisability of the administration of serum by intramus- 

 cular injection can be readily seen. Knowing that the toxins 

 of the microorganisms have been already absorbed, naturally 

 we expect the neutralization of the poisons by the serum, which 

 contains specific antibodies. The results are gratifying. If
