What of the effects of injecting dead dysentery germs? Were any antidotes prepared by the blood? It was found that after a single injection of dead germs and the lapse of 13 days, the amount of antidote present in the blood had increased 400 times. But after two injections at eight days' interval, the astonishing discovery was made that there was to trace of antidote at all. This was confirmed in various
