The dosage that I have employed was from 10 to 20 cubic 
centimeters intramuscularly injected in the gluteal region. 
Eight cases were treated with milk, all of which were ad- 
mitted into the hospital when the morbidity of the epidemic was 
declining. 
The condition of the respective patients on admission is shown ‘ 
in Table XVII.

It will be seen that only two mild cases aborted during the 
second week of the disease, with an average duration of the 
disease of 12.5 days; two of the severe and nontoxic type were 
benefited during the second week of the disease, with twenty- 
two days as the average duration of the disease; and two cases 
of the severe and nontoxic type were unaffected, with 28.5 days 
as the average duration of the disease. The total average 
duration was twenty-one days. There were two cases of tem-

perature. The latter two weTe observed in connection with the 
formation of an abscess in the gluteal region in each case, as
