This has been done without previous skin testing for sensitization to foreign serums and without fear of anaphylactic reaction in accordance with the belief that anaphylactic reaction cannot occur in a patient under ether anesthesia. Recently, this procedure was carried out on a patient whose case history is herewith presented.
