To obtain antitoxin from an immun-
lied horse 1t is bled about week
after the last injection OF toxin The
bleeding of the horse is a very simple
process, causing but little pain. and
is not often objected to by the animal
All the operations in antitoxin pro-
duction are under the most rigid asep-
contamination All instruments, bot

European laboratories. The strength
of antitoxin is estimated by the num-
Der of units it may contain. unit Is
variable quantity and may be as
much as one tenth or as little as one
fifteenth of drop. 1t Is that quantity
that will save the life OF half pound

of a fatal dose of toxin
All foreign antitoxins are compared or
standardized by the German or Ehriich
unit, made at Frankfort Germany.
while the American antitoxins are
standardized by the government unit
made at the hygienic laboratory OF
public health and the marine hospital
service at Washington. This standard
unit compares exactly with the German

water plugs on Mount Anphibious.
Now there were three saloons in
Bird City, though neither Andy nor
me drank But we could see the
townspeople making a triangular pro-
cession from one to another all day
and half the night Everybody
seemed to know what to do with as
much money as they had.
The third day of the rain it
Stacked up awhile in the afternoon,
so me and Andy walked out to the
edge OF town to view the mudscape.
Bird City was built between the Rio
Grande and deep, wide arroyo that
used to be the old bed of tlle"river
The bank between the stream and its
old bed was cracking and giving away
when we saw it, on account of the
high water caused by the rain Andy
looks at it long time. That mans
intellects was never idle. And then
he unfolds 10 ME an instantaneous
idea that has occurred to him. Right
there we organized trust, and we
walked back into town and put it on
the market
First we went to the main saloon
in Bird City, called the Blue Snake,
and bought it. 1t cost US $1,000. And
then we dropped in, casual, at Mexi-
can Joe's place, referred to the rain.
and bought him out for $500. The
other one came easy at s400.
The next morning Bird City woke
up and found itself an island The
river had busted through its old chan
mel and the town was surrounded by
roaring torrents. The rain was still
raining, and there was heavy clouds
in the northwest that presaged about
six more mean annual rainfzlls during
the next two weeks. But the worst
was yet to come.
Bird City hoped out of its nest,
waggled its pin feathers and strollcd
out for its matutinal toot. Lo. Mex
iean Joe's place was closed, and like
wise the other little 'dobe life saving

toxin. The production of -antitoxin is
slow and laborious and requires from
three to four months time.
The method is to inject under the
skin of horses increasing quantities OF
toxin, beginning with smau quantity,
about or 10 drops at a time. After
two or three days a larger quantity is
injected about 20 drops; then with
periods of a few days between each in
lection, increasing quantities are given
until at the end iof three or four months
as much as pint of toxin can be in
jected at one time. The first injections
cause some disturbance In the horse.
but the later ones produce less result
and the horse is able to stand the lar
ger quantities without Inconvenience
The horse Is then said to be "immun-
lied The toxin used for the injection
is so poisonous that one drop will kill
20 guinea pigs Weighing half pound
each. A horse injected with such toxin
receives enough poison to kill 500 900
guinea pigs, or. this same amount
would kill 1000 men weighing $50
pounds each. This tolerance or Inn
munity, as 1t is called, is due to the
fact that this toxin stimulates certain
cells or group of cells or organs OF the
horse to produce some substance which
sneutralizes or renders inert the poison
and thus protects the life of the horse
This substance is antitoxin. The name
implies its action: anti--against, toxin
poison. This substance or antitoxin
is produced in greater and greater
amounts as the injections of the toxin
are increased and at the end OF three
OF four months, when the horse has
ngained a tolerance for the enormously
large quantities of toxin. 1t is found In
great abundance in the horses blood
To make this palmer comparison
might be made with that tolerance
which exists In q person addicted to
