The object of this portion of the investigation was to determine

(a) Whether the amount of immune-body present in the sera of cases of pulmonary tuberculosis, bore any constant relation to the stage of the disease and the condition of the patient.

(b) Whether well-marked clinical phenomena, e.g. periods of fever, attacks of pleurisy etc., were associated in any definite manner with variations in the amount of immune-body in the serum.

(c) Whether gradual definite and sustained improvement or deterioration in a patient's condition was accompanied by increase or decrease of the specific immune-body in the serum.
