     A further study along that line was particularly instructive, for we found we could take a tooth structure, dry it in the presence of sulphuric acid for a certain number of days, so it came to a fixed point of water content, and then by putting it in a solution that was of hyperconcentration or hypoconcentration in certain ions, we could change the weight. It has always seemed probable to me that part of this problem has to do with certain solvent factors in the saliva.

     Eserine and strophanthin favor anaphylaxis by inhibiting cholinesterase, whereby a greater concentration of acetylcholine in the tissues accumulates. Atropine in higher doses blocks anaphylaxis by blocking the cells of the terminal organs. Adrenalin in small doses favors anaphylaxis and blocks it in large doses. A hyperconcentration of acetylcholine and, secondarily, of adrenalin precursor accompany anaphylaxis.
