Studies in Specific Hypersensitiveness

[摘要] Through inquiry it has been found that the American Indian is apparently much less frequently affected by the allergies than is the white race. An experimental study of the occurrence of serum disease in twenty-six volunteer full-blood American Indians indicates that the Indian race is much less susceptible to that condition than is the white race.This similarity in the relative susceptibility of the two races to these two conditions suggests a similarity in the underlying mechanism of both of the conditions which, however, need not amount to a complete identity.
