In normal rabbits and mice, one i.v. injection of scarlet fever toxin (ET) (30,000 STD [skin test doses]/kg of rabbit wt or 20 g mouse) elicited a similar biphasic change in C clearance rate (early depression followed by a stimulating phase) as described for gram-negative endotoxins. Prolonged depression without a subsequent stimulation phase was obtained in mice by raising the ET dose. Pyrogenic tolerance to ET is not accompanied by accelerated C clearance and is not impaired by RES blockade. A possible mechanism of ET tolerance is suggested.

The major problem as-sociated with document linkage, in general, is related to unreliability of the information used in the linkage process. This problem is also encountered in death clearance, where given the information on the California death certificate and a followup questionnaire, or information available from elsewhere;the public health statistician must determine which pieces of information on the 2 documents can be used to identify the individual in question. Secondly, he has to decide whether the 2 documents represent the same individual. In such follow-up studies, one is faced with the problem of matching thousands of documents. Since it takes considerable time to carry out the matching process manually, it has become necessary to seek a more economical procedure of linking documents. The program described is designed to perform document linkage on vital events. The statistical solution to the document linkage problem, when the recorded pieces of information are accurate and complete, is given by Deming and Glasser (1959). Often their theory cannot be used because the recorded pieces of information are incomplete or inaccurately recorded. Thus, the linkage on vital events performed by this program accounts for incomplete and inaccurately recorded information. The major point of interest here is the fact that the program is designed to process alphanumeric information, thus eliminating the need for recoding, abstracting, or altering the information from the source documents.
