Letter of the Day: June 24 (2 of 2)

Hoagland Laboratory.

Department of Bacteriology

Brooklyn, N.Y. June 24th, 1895.

 

Dear Doctor Reed:

 

I should have sent the toxine you requested before, but the convention has kept me busy. I send you by this mail 10 c.c. of a toxine, the minimum fatal dose of which I established a short time ago. 1/50 c.c. killed a g.p. [guinea pig] 430 gm in 3 ½ days. I have used the same toxine to standardize my serum.

 

Sincerely yours,

E. H. Wilson

 

P.S. It contains ½% trikresol.
