Abstract

The investigation of the blood serum from any particular point of view is always a difficult matter. There is apt to be the personal equation and one is very easily biased by theories on such a subject At the start of this paper it is desired to make clear that one would lay down a distinct line between theory and fact. When one has given the result of investigations, one hopes that, even though few, they may be a contribution to the observations already made. In order to fulfil the purpose of the paper as a whole, which is to attempt to direct interest towards the colloidal state of the blood serum in relation to abnormal body conditions, it has been necessary to go fairly thoroughly into other theories and teachings on the subject. To do so has of necessity brought one to form one's own theories as well, and to criticize the views of others. To theories is always a danger, but it sometimes assists towards the finding of the ultimate true cause of a reaction.
