evacuation of the abscess the temperature completely subsided 
after twenty-four hours. Of all the injections made, only these

Fig. 8. Temperature chart of E. A. Illustrating the effect of intramuscular injection of milk. 
Symptomatology. — The symptoms observed were: A slight 
rise of temperature; pain and tenderness in the gluteal region; 
slight leucocytosis ; and gradual amelioration of subjective 
symptoms. The temperature may become lytic, remittent, or 
intermittent. An example of the benefited type in which the 
temperature became remittent, finally falling to normal, is illus- 
trated in the accompanying temperature record. 
Complications. — The complications that were observed are 
shown in Table XIX:

Table XIX shows that four cases exhibiting complications 
were observed during the treatment, of which one case was lobar 
pneumonia, one case was intestinal hsemorrhage, and two cases 
had abscess in the buttocks accounted for by improper sterili-

Mortality. — There were two deaths out of eight cases, giving 
a mortality rate of 25 per cent. One of these cases that died
