The serum albumin used in this study was supplied in part by the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, United States Navy, and in part by the American National Red Cross. It was prepared from blood collected by the American Red Cross from voluntary donors.

This is one of a series of investigations on serum albumin being carried out with material supplied by the American National Red Cross. As soon as sufficient data become available to justify final conclusions concerning its therapeutic value, a full report to the medical profession on the use of serum albumin in medical practice will be published.
