Abstract
THAT copper is present in human blood has been known since 18751. Its concentrations in the red blood corpuscles and serum of man and different animals, at different ages, under normal and pathological conditions, have been estimated by several workers2,3. Very little has been known, however, as to the state in which the copper is present in the blood.
