(Venereal Disease Research Laboratory Flocculation Test) in the serum of 1,997 cases of various diseases gives reactive reaction in 316 cases or 15.82 per cent of the total number. It has been found that the sera give varying percentages of reactive reaction according to the severity of the tissue damage. In a study of 75 normal students ranging in age from 19-24 years, all of the subjects give non-reactive V.D.R.L.
