M., Germany. On account of the technical difficulties met in testing the strength of diphtheria antitoxin, and the intricate composition of the diphtheria poison, as well as the peculiar chemical relations existing between the toxine and the antitoxin, it has been necessary to enter into the many details of every portion of the process in order that those who use this standard may do so under the same conditions.
