No more than five determinations were done on any 1 subject, and the longest interval between the initial and the final determination of the antitoxin titer was one and one-half years. In 1 subject there was an increase in the antitoxin titer from 0.01 to 0.75 unit per cubic centimeter within two and one-half months without any apparent stimulus.
