Note 643 — Chapter XII · ARTIFICIAL IMMUNITY AGAINST TOXINS (continued 2)
Francis G. Binnie translation
The rapid disappearance of poisons from the blood is proved also by the experiments of von Behring, Dönitz, Decroly and Rousse (Arch. internat. de Pharmacodyn., Gand et Paris, 1899, t. VI, p. 211) on snake venom and diphtheria and tetanus toxins, as likewise by those of Heymans and Masoin (Ibid., 1901, t. VIII, p. 1) on the malonic and pyrotartaric nitrites. These poisons, within a few minutes of their injection into the veins, are absorbed by the cell elements.
