Summary To prevent an early death of animals with artificially induced cirrhosis of the liver it is suggested that carbon tetrachloride should be administered not continuously, as is usually done, but in separate courses, interrupted by periods free of injections. The protein fractions of the blood are periodically determined and biopsy is performed to control the condition of the liver. Cirrhosis of the liver, in a number of cases accompanied by ascitis and splenomegaly, develops in all the animals in 7 to 8 months.
