Abstract
The value of nonspecific protein therapy is established. The relative value of different forms of protein is discussed and for practical reasons diphtheria antitoxin is preferred, used in doses of 1,000 to 5,000 units. Experimental infection of the corneas of rabbits was produced by definite dosage of standardized dilutions of staphylococci emulsion. Differences of virulence were very marked between different strains of microorganisms. No important difference of therapeutic value was found between antidiphtheric serum, concentrated horse serum and typhoid vaccine. Clinical experience shows the value of protein therapy.
