  11. Malamud, et al. (2a): The series consisted of manic-depressive, epileptic, alcoholic (non-delirious), psychoneurotic, and involutional psychotic patients whose blood-spinal fluid bromide ratios fell within the “normal” limits of 2.8 and 3.2.

  12. The coefficient of correlation between the respective bromide contents of the cisternal and lumbar fluids of the entire series was highly significant-0.980±0.093 (Masserman, J. H.: The relationship of the bromide content of the lumbar fluid to that of the cisternal fluid after the Walter bromide test. Am. J. Physiol. 109:193 (Aug.) 1934).
