Abstract

Methods. Poliomyelitis has been produced, as in the earlier experiments, by the intracerebral injection of 0.2 cc. of the supernate of a 10 per cent centrifuged emulsion of pooled monkey cord. Mixed virus (MV) has been used. In all but the preliminary experiments monkeys were sacrificed when their temperatures fell to 98°F. This was done for several reasons.
