    The same method has been adopted at different medical schools and hos- pitals, and is being introduced gradually into numerous clinical labora- tories, where the original Wassennann method is not thought of being done. The Army and Navy Medical Schools of the United States, where complexity in technique is not taken into consideration in selecting a re- liable method, have been using this method for some time. The Pasteur Institute of Paris has also adopted my method to the exclusion of all others. All the State Hospitals of New York, as well as a number of State Hospitals in other States, are employing it. So far as I am aware these investigators are not having any difficulty in obtaining uniform and reliable results. TABLE II. Compared with the Wassennann method. Corson-White ...
