The object of this study was to observe the changes in composition and appearance of the blood occurring immediately after the intravenous injection of a variety of agents.

The analysis of blood was limited to the more important constituents and changes that might accompany such states as collapse, anoxemia, asphyxia, intravascular coagulation and thrombosis, which occur in varying degrees during the acute reactions from many agents injected intravenously. These have been described previously by several investigators. The literature of the subject has been
