milk. In its preparation all the reagents used were made with freshly 

 distilled water, and the crystallisation was carried out at 0° C. For this 

 we are indebted to Dr. McLean at the Lister Institute. With these precautions 

 the rise of temperature was insignificant. 



A. Eabbit, 1747 grm., injected intravenously with 8'8 per cent, cane sugar dissolved in 

 8 - 20 c.c. water freshly distilled from glass retort. Injection ratio, 1/211. 

 (Interval between observations, 30 minutes.) 



A. Rabbit, 1647 grm., injected intravenously with isosmotic solution of commercial 



lactose in pure water. Injection ratio, 1/211. 



B. Rabbit, 1605 grm., injected intravenously with isosmotic solution of lactose obtained 



from a catheter sample of milk in the method described in text. 



(Interval between observations, 30 minutes.) 



The existence of carbohydrate fever (10, 15, 16), which has long been 

 looked upon as a definite clinical type, is not supported by the above 

 experiments.
