8s NOTE TO PAGE 75- One unpleasant possibility [in the making of inoculation] is to be mentioned, one which I did not originally think of and which was called to my attention by Ober-med. Rath Lorenz. It consists in the general collapse of the inoculated calf, of very threatening aspect, when the inoculating fluid has been injected too cold. This happened on a Hessian farm on a cold winter day, and resulted m the collapse of all the inoculated calves. (It would, by the way, have happened if only the cold fluid without the virus had been injected.) As it was, all the inoculated animals had recovered by the following day. This teaches us to warm the inoculating fluid to about body temperature before injecting it. This is readily done by placing the bottle containing the fluid into a little lukewarm water.
