SEPTICEMIA 159 



The bacterins that are used in the treatment of a case 

 of septicemia should contain not less than four billion 

 killed staphylococci and one billion streptococci in each 

 dose. All must be of equine source and must be polyva- 

 lent or mixed. The injection of the bacterins must be 

 made only subcutaneously, never intravenously, and then 

 only in a region remote from the diseased area. Never 

 inject them near the lesion. The anti-streptococcic serum 

 may be given intravenously. The dose is from 20 to 40 

 mils, daily.
