Summary and Conclusions
Strains of streptococci, in which alterations in cataphoretic velocities have been produced by exposure to a high frequency field, when subsequently injected into rabbits are found as frequently in certain tissues as are control (unexposed) strains.
Irrespective of the type of cataphoretic distribution of the injected strain, the streptococci which are isolated from brain tissue exhibit a type of cataphoretic velocity distinctly different from the organisms which are isolated from joint tissues.
