    Forms Bulletin No. 29 of the Hygienic Laboratory, U. S. Marine Hospital Service. Rosenau and Anderson drew attention to the fact that animals receiving an injection of a foreign protein became sensitive to a second dose of the same protein. This reaction is similar to the anaphylaxis of Charles Robert Richet and the Theobald Smith phenomenon. See Richet’s phenomenon under Charles Robert Richet, 1850-1935, and Theobald Smith’s phenomenon, under Theobald Smith, American pathologist, 1859-1934.
