Abstract
These experiments show that paramecia can be used to determine toxin production of certain bacteria (diphtheria bacillus, measles diplococcus, scarlet fever streptococcus) in a crude way only because the toxins are not sufficiently potent to be diluted, but that paramecia may be helpful in determining the strength of antitoxins.Keywords
