GENERAL PHYSIOLOGYBy L. V. HEILBRUNN

JUST READY! Dr. L. V. Heilbrunn is an experienced teacher and a recognized au-

thority on General Physiology. His brand new book is a completeENTIRELY NEW! and concise presentation of the entire subject and fills a long-existingneed for a text of this type. The practical worth of the text hasbeen proved in the classroom, because Dr. Heilbrunn has used it in mimeograph form fortwo years. Although the book is thoroughly up-to-date, the classical literature is notneglected, and the basic concepts are presented in such a way that the student can graspthe significance of modern physiological thought.

The book is understandable-lucid-and logical in its entire consideration of the subject.It is indeed an excellent presentation of the nature and mechanism of living matter as itis known today.The plan of the book is as follows: First the author discusses the nature of the subject,following this with a brief survey of the morphology of living cells and a thorough con-sideration of their physico-chemical make-up in the light of today's knowledge. Thenhe takes up the ""living machine," including discussions of nutrition, digestion, respira-tion, secretion and excretion.

High Precision

This instrument has the precision of a sling psychrometer but does not requ'ire manipu-lation to ventilate the wet bulb. A standard.rate of ventilation between 600 and 1000feet per minute is provided by means of a silent vibrationless motor and fan. This rateof ventilation is the standard upon which are based the tables for the computation ofrelative humidity. Errors due to slower velocities across the bulb surface are notappreciable at high temperatures and high humidity above a velocity of 100 feet perminute but are significant either at slower air rates or at low humidities, hence the im-portance and value of a precise, mechanically maintained ventilation rate.In addition to these advantages, the Sargent Hygrometer permits instantaneous readingto be made by virtue of its ability for continuous twenty-four hour operation. Underthese conditions the 600 ml water reservoir requires retilling at intervals of only oneweek. A snap switch on the motor permits intermittent operation if continuous opera-tion is not desired.The entire instrument is integrally mounted on a cast metal base with rubber feet andis entirely finished inside and out, with white ceramic porcelain which is easily cleanedand which maintains the purity of the water over long periods. A pair of precisionthermometers graduated in intervals of 0.5aF. are removably mounted, readily accessibleand are protected by a removable glass tubing shield.Because of the high degree of precision, simplified operation and superior structuraland design characteristics, this hygrometer is recommended as preferable to any othertype of humidity indicator for laboratory use.

OPTICAL QUALITYRequires Careful Assembly

Sharply defined images at high mag-nifications, free of disturbing aberra-tions, require careful assembly of anoptical system, as well as carefullychecked formulae and precise sur-faces.

In assembling objectives, an experi-enced Spencer craftsman verifies hiswork by the use of a test slide espe-cially designed for this purpose.

The characteristic appearcace of thistest slide indicates the correct spac-ing of the elements, which is obtain-ed by using the proper spacing ringsbetween them.

Correct centering of all lens elements-necessary for good performanceis also checked during this operation.

The illustration shows a Spencercraftsman testing an objective.

two inches in diameter so that the hair will not becomeentangled in the cannula when the wing-nut is tight-ened. Having removed the hair, cut a slit about ahalf inch long between and parallel to the borders ofadjacent ribs. You may then thrust the cannulaquickly through the muscle tissue between the ribs,turn it through 900 quickly and then fasten the wing-nut. We have found it more satisfactory, however, toincise the intercostal muscles and parietal pleura be-cause occasionally the cannula point strips the parietalpleura from the chest wall and pushes it ahead of it.By this method, the cannula slips in easier and sinceit is so quickly done, no respiratory distress resultsin the animal, even if the lung collapses. You canquickly restore the intrathoracic pressure by suctionthrough a T-tube placed in the rubber tubing connect-ing the cannula with the recording tambour.

THE USE OF DIALYSIS IN THE PREPARA-TION AND PURIFICATION OF IMMUNO-

LOGICALLY ACTIVE BACTERIALPRODUCTS*

THE problem of purifying active bacterial productsis frequently complicated by the presence of non-specific ingredients derived from the nutrient medium.We have recently employed a purely physical opera-tion, dialysis, to overcome this difficulty. The par-ticular bacterial products investigated were thosecapable of eliciting the phenomenon of local skinreactivity to bacterial filtrates;' the method described,however, appears generally applicable to other bac-terial products which are non-diffusible throughCellophane.

It was reported in a former communication2 thatthe active principles of the phenomenon of local skinreactivity to bacterial filtrates are retained by Cello-phane membranes. The observations of McClean3 onproduction of staphylococcus toxin in fluid media dif-fused through Cellophane suggested the possibility ofpreparing active filtrates free from non-specific ingre-dients, as described below.A diffused broth medium is prepared by immersing

Cellophane4 bags, containing saline, into nutrientbroth. Sterilization is accomplished by autoclaving.After standing at room temperature for 24 hours, theinner contents are inoculated and the apparatus incu-bated. During the abundant growth in the bags,

observed thus far with many microorganisms, the out-side broth remains sterile. The production of potentculture filtrates under these conditions is consistent.The function of the outside broth is to supply dif-fusible nutrient substances to the growing bacteria.After various periods of incubation, the cultures areremoved and filtered. The filtrates obtained in thismanner are then redialyzed against saline, in Cello-phane bags.2 Diffusible substances which have notbeen rearranged to specific bacterial products are thusremoved. In many cases, practically water-clearpreparations are obtained. The final dialyzed solu-tions usually contain about 2 mgms total solids (ashfree) and 0.02 mgms total nitrogen. The method isvery practical, and large quantities of excellent start-ing materials for chemical investigations are readilyprepared. They are considerably lower in total solidsand nitrogen than most of preparations formerlyanalyzed.2

The filtrates give abundant precipitation with spe-cific immune sera, thus apparently containing a con-siderable amount of antigenic material. The activeprinciples of the phenomenon present in these prepa-rations are of considerable potency. In the case ofmeningococcus, the reacting titer approximates onehalf of that of "agar washings" filtrates. It may benoted that filtrates of meningoeoccus cultures in fluidmedia without the use of Cellophane have ordinarilya potency of 1/40 to 1/20 of the "agar washings."These principles are specifically neutralized by immunesera in "multiple proportions."
