HC Deb 05 April 1922 vol 152 c2263W
Mr. R. YOUNG

asked the Minister of Health whether any and, if so, what antiseptic is added to the diththeria toxin used in the Schick test or to the toxin-antitoxin used for immunising purposes?

Sir A. MOND

I am advised that the diphtheria toxin solution used in the Schick test contains 0.001 per cent, phenol, and the toxin-antitoxin mixture 0'5 per cent, phenol together with a trace of tricresol.
