Abstract

DURING a year's service in the R.A.M.C., six months were occupied exclusively in carrying out and reporting upon this test1 according to a scheme drawn up by the Directorate. Though the results concerning the 1,200 men examined cannot be given, some remarks on the method appear to be worth recording as based on experience gained in performing some thousands of titrations ; also a couple of points accidentally discovered may be mentioned.
