Excerpt from Report on Diphtheria
The immunising treatment is obtained by a series of simple inoculations. The necessary toxin-antitoxin mixture (as also the toxin required for the Schick test) is, in New York, distributed on alarge scale from State and other recognised laboratories, the authorities of which guarantee the uniformity of the constituent elements and of the mixture. Corresponding supplies in this country have hitherto been obtainable from the Wellcome Laboratory, and no doubt bacteriologists at other laboratories who are experienced in this type of work can furnish the protective material prepared according to the generally accepted standards. No officially standardised supply is issued by our public authorities.
