    XLIII.—The Relation of the Mono-Molecular Reaction to Life- Processes and to Immunity. By John Brownlee, M.D., D.Sc. (MS. received January 9, 1911. Read January 9, 1911.) Some of the relationships, such as those between toxins and antitoxins, discovered during the last twenty years have lately been investigated by Arrhenius. It has been found by this observer that many of these Diagram I. processes can be adequately represented by the equations which govern homogeneous mass reactions; for instance, the rates of the disappearance of diphtheria antitoxin and of typhoid agglutinin from the circulation are described at least empirically by such a formula (Diagram I.) (1). Some years ago, in a communication to this Society on the laws of epidemics (2), I showed that the course of an epidemic could be accounted for if the organism, having a high infectivity at the beginning of the epidemic, lost
