Abstract
In December, 1959, an outbreak of botulism, connected with the use for food of the local canned flounder, was observed for the first time on the eastern shore of USSR (Soviet Gavan' city). In the organs of two dead boys and in the lavage water from the intestines of a sick girl, botulin toxin of type A was detected. In order to discover the botulin toxin, the examination of brain tissues, of vomitory masses and the lavage waters of intestines (in intravenous administration) in the experiments of neutralization on white mice is the most effective.
