INTERESTING TO KNOW.
How Horses Are Made to Supply the New
Remedy for Diphtheria.

Remedy Tor Diphth6ria.
The anti-toxin of diphtheria is q sub.
stance derived from the blood of ami.
mails, chiefly horses, which have been
rendered immune to the action of the
diphtheria bacilli, through repeated in
jections of their toxins. The first steps
in its preparation are carried on in the
meteorological laboratory, ending with
the final storage of the perfected
toxins, and the later one in the stables
n laboratories connected with them.
ending with the bottling of the cura-
tive serum. These horses are as care
fully tended as patients in a hospital.
Twice a day their temperature is
taken, and frequently their pulse also.
They are taken out daily for exercise,
and they are weighed once a week.
Their general health is watched over
with the greatest cart by trained
veterinarians.
The horses selected must be perfect
ly healthy, but may have slight de-
formities and blemishes, which, al
though detracting from their value for
other purposes, do not in any way in
jure the purity of their blood or di-
minish their ability to furnish anti
toxin. Having selected then a num-
Der of horses, W. begin by injecting a
small amount, say one-half of a cubic
centimeter ten drops, of the toxin,
which, when injected to the amount of
one-tenth of a cubic centimeter, issuff-
cient to kill a half-grown guinea pig
in thirty-six to forty-eight hours.
From day to day the horses are OBJ
served, as soon as the temperature has
fallen to the normal and the local
swelling has subsidized, a slightly larger
dose of the toxin is injected. Thus
from week to week the injections in
crease in size, and frequency until, in
the course of three to five months. we
are enabled to inject the less sensitive
horses with a thousands times the orig
inal dose, without it's producing any
local or constitutional symptoms.
When we can introduce from two hun.
dred to three hundred cubic cent?.
meters of strong toxin into the horse
without producing serious symptoms.
we can feel pretty certain that the

sufficient amount to be used for heal.
ing purposes.
The horse is prepared for bleeding
by having the skin of the neck over
the jugular vein shaved, cleansed with
soap and water, and a. thoroughly as
possible disinfected. To obtain the
blood we use a small canula about one
fourth of an inch in diameter, having
a sharp-pointed end. To the opposite
end is attached a rubber tube of mod
crate size, about two feet in length.
At the end of this a small glass tube
six inches long is attached. To receive
the blood we use small TASKS contain
ing from one to four pints. The
mouths of these TASKS have previously
been covered with paper, or plugged
with cotton, and sterilized bydry heat.
