Abstract
Summary
1. Blood of normal subjects was examined by electrophoresis before and after ingestion of 4 g of acetylsalicylic acid per day for 7 days. Physical and chemical constants obtained were in good agreement with published values.
2. No marked changes were observed in any protein components accessible to electrophoresis. The conclusion is drawn that the effect of salicylates on blood clotting time and sedimentation rates of erythrocytes cannot be due to a reduction of plasma fibrinogen, and that salicylates are probably not hepa-to toxic.
