Abstract
Summary
India ink, suspensions of blood charcoal, carmine, and trypan blue were injected subcutaneously and intraperitoneally. Carmine was injected also intramuscularly. After subcutaneous and intramuscular injection a rise in body-temperature was observed. After intraperitoneal injection a fall in body-temperature was observed. As judged by relative engorgement of capillary beds, and changes in blood cell volume (hematocrit) and plasma protein concentration, these animals were not in shock during hypothermia, Intraperitoneal injections of ox bile, and solutions of peptone produced a less intense hypothermia although ox bile caused severe shock.
