The animals pay but little attention to the operation. any germs that might be accidentally present, and then filtered through several thicknesses of filter paper, under pressure (suction). The perfectly clear, sterile and germ-free serum constitutes the antitoxin of diphtheria and is ready for use as soon as it is standardized and put into suitable containers. F. Standardizing the Antitoxin of Diphtheria.—Since the antitoxic valence of horse serum as above described varies somewhat, it is necessary to deter- mine the quantitative value in order that physicians may know what amounts to administer in the treatment of diphtheria. The standard unit of strength.
