A preliminary report of this investigation was presented before the national meeting of the American Federation for Clinical Research, Atlantic City, N. J., May 4, 1948 (Am. J. Med., 1948, 5, 623).

2

The serum albumin used in this study was processed by the American National Red Cross from blood which it collected 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.

3

This study was aided in part by a gift to Harvard University from the Abbott Laboratories, North Chicago, Illinois.
