"ÏMMUNITY IN TUBERCULOSIS.
Dr. Simon Flexner, of the Rockeféller In- stitute for Medical Research, of New York, is he author of an Interesting paper on immo- aity in tuberculosis that appeared in the Sept- ember issue of Popular Science Monthly. The paper is a review of the work of patient expe- simenters in this' line of inquiry, and begins with the purposeful transmission of this dis- ease from animal to animal by inoculation by those experimenters immediately preceding Koch,
Knowledge of the nature of the tubercle bacillus enables a recognition of several dis- tinct kinds,' classified from their sources into human, bovine, avian, and a group derived from cold-blooded animals. The last class differs from the others in that the first three re- quire high temperatures for their growth and do not thrive underordinary external conditions. The tubercle bacilli of cold blooded creatures cannot cause disease in the warm-blooded suimals. This is a wide difference, but is of but little Importance, chiefly because of its wide difference. Of greater consequence are the differances, fundamentally, among the several other kinds.

The first port to call at was Gibraltar, whence the squadron proceeded to Naples, where the West Virginia and Pennsylvania anchored, while the Colorado and Maryland went on to Palermo. After a brief stay the Fingship and the Pratylhania joined the Colorado and Maryland and the squadron sailed on to Faleron, the seaport of Athens. Thence the You have printed three letters from Mr. cruisers came on to Pait Said and thereafter to Nielsen, ostensibly, written to prove that the Bombay.

The field of experimentation, in inoculation and is offecia has been necessarily limited because of th⚫ obvious impossibility of carrying the tests of pathogenic action from domestic aainuls to the human organism, There is a belief, however, expressed in many regulations against the use of infected meats and milk, that bovine bacillus is powerfully pathogenic for man. That it is for lower animals has been proved.
Microscopic observation has demonstrated that numerous avenues exist by which the tuber cle bacillus may be transmitted and finally

Mr. Nielsen is quite within his rights in claiming to be a more able man of business than the prominent gentlemen be sneers at but he must surely know that he weakens his claim when he is convicted of faking figures and distorting facts; and he must not be surprised if the public wonder whether this bold investor in five shares has written six Bay, of which Baltimore is the capital, the SRIP | Hessre, E.
