The following general statements are applicable to the 50 cases of cerebrospinal fever which have been under notice here.

The total volume of serum given did not affect the frequency of abnormal reactions.

The total number of injections of serum, in certain cases, may have been a factor in inducding abnormal reactions.

The interval of time between the injections concerned was the primary influence in determining abnormal reactions.

It was not apparent that a preceding normal reaction predisposed to a subsequent abnormal reaction.

It was not apparent that a large administration of serum within the latent period predisposed to a subsequent abnormal reaction.
