Characteristics
Skinner (H. W., xxxv. 246) gave a supply of Septic. 10m (F. C.) to a volunteer going to South Africa, with instructions to take a globule every four hours if attacked with anything like sinking or typhoid fever. The young man wrote home that " Septicæmin is like magic in diarrhœa and dysentery in camp life," and asked for more, as his supply was largely drawn on by his friends.
