Average efficiency in the work of 8 Ss, as measured with the mean percentage of baseline performance, fell about 25% during the period of their illness (P. tularensis). Recovery 3 days after treatment had begun was incomplete, with performance averaging 10 to 15% below that of controls (2 double-blind hospital control Ss and a separate control group of 10 Ss).
