Curiosities of Antitoxins.

Sir William Ramsay. in the Youths Companion
One of the latest discoveries in the
field of antitoxins has been given the
name of anaphylaxis: it was made dur
ing experiments in injecting into a dog
minute doses of a poison secreted by sea
anemones. The first dose produced very
little effect on the dog; it was followed
three weeks later by similar dose The
eXpermenter found to his surprise that
the second dose was fatal: the first dose
had rendered the animal much more, in
stead of less. sensitive to the poison. 1t
was found later that if an injection into
an animal of even SO harmless sub
stance as white OF egg is followed after
three weeks by a second injection. the
result is fatal; but if the first injection
is followed by further doses at inter-
walls of week. there is no bad result.
The cause of this curious fact is not
known. but since il was discovered med
ical men have been very careful not to
allow too long an interval to elapse be-
tween two doses of any albuminous
compound.
