Table III. — Showing that an element which incites Phagocytosis is contained 

 in the heated serum of patients who are the subjects of an active 

 systemic tubercular infection, or who have been subjected to inocu- 

 lations of a tubercle vaccine. The sera, like those which are in 

 question in Table II, were in each case heated to 60° C. for 10 minutes.
