41 6 Gonorrhea 



The rabbits were bled for the first time after the sixth dose, as if 

 the treatment be pushed they soon fall into a state of cachexia, 

 rapidly emaciate, and die. Each animal furnishes 70 to 90 cm. 

 of the serum, which was inclosed in 2-cm. bulbs, hermetically sealed, 

 and kept without any preservative. 



With serum made in this way by Torrey, Rogers* treated a 

 number of obstinate cases of gonorrheal rheumatism, with appar- 

 ently good results. 



Good results in gonorrheal arthritis and in gleet are also claimed 

 for treatment with gonococcus-vaccines.
