Extract

The ingestion of a pint of milk by a normal fasting individual is followed by certain blood changes, the most important of which are an increase in the leucocyte count and a slight rise of blood pressure. In the condition known as anaphylaxis, or protein shock, the general symptoms are accompanied by a fall in the number of blood leucocytes, a reversal of the differential count, and a lowering of the blood-pressure.
