Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Infection, Immunity and Serum Therapy: In Relation to the Infectious Diseases of Man
Immunity, in its present state of development, with its manifold new terms and special methods of experimentation, is a subject which appears difficult to one who has not studied the newer literature assiduously and grown into a knowledge of the conditions through actual work in the lab oratory. Much of the literature is technical in character and appears in journals not commonly found in the hands of the physician and student. Much of it also is comparatively recent, and its essence has not yet appeared in books which are in general use. The literature of immunity, more over, grows so amazingly that the analysis even of current works is a task of no mean proportions.
At the same time, the subject is one of great interest and importance, and there exists a gen eral wish, frequently expressed, to know more about the recent advances and the conditions which have operated against the success of serum therapy on a broader scale.
