This problem was undertaken with the purpose of investigating the possibility of rendering visible an otherwise invisible phenomenon which occurs with pathogenic T. pallidum in the presence of syphilitic sera. Cain (1953) described a microscopic agglutination test which agreed rather well with the Treponema Pallidum Immobilization Test of Nelson and Mayer (1949) , and it was felt that there was a possibility this might be moved from the realm of the microscope to that of a macroscopic tube-type agglutination similar to the Widal test.
