Data with regard to the Tuberculo-opsonic Power of the Blood in Cases of 

 Tuberculosis associated with Constitutional Disturbance. 



In the cases here in question the opsonic index of the blood is continually 

 varying. The range of its fluctuation is from considerably under the normal 

 to twice or more the normal height. 



Striking examples of the variation of the opsonic index in connection with 

 acute tubercular phthisis are furnished in the paper of our fellow- worker, 

 E. H. Urwick, already referred to.* 



The following are instances of similar variation occurring in the subjects of 

 other forms of tubercular infection : —
