A LBOJURE BY DR. KUCH,
Dr. Koch, the eminent German savání, who is now in Japan, gave a lecture on June 16 on sleeping sickness, The Japan Timer gives the following summary Dr. Koch ross in the midst of deafeologe applause Referring to Baron Takagi's proposal [arglog medical man in Japan la become members of and make contributions to the Society for the Extermina« tion of Infectious Diseases formed in Germany) he said that the collection and employment of funds for the Society for the Extermination of infectious Diseases was not confined to Ger. many. Whenever the society should be ap prised of the progress in any country of a work similar to that which it proposed to carry on, it would willingly support its execution by giving money out of it funds. The professor would, therefore, be highly gratified to get any 'japanese contribution to the society's funds,
Proceeding the Profesor complimented the Japancio as a people on their peculiar aptitude for digesting and mastering sciences, and not rosting content with a vencer of knowledge, Full proof of this was seen in the successful way they were fighting epidemic diseases, the latest concrets evidence of it being fapan's battle field hygienic arrangements during the Ramro- Japanese war.g

of days without fresh supply of its blood, the exterminating of the amphibian would result in the extermination of the fly. The dissp pearance of the fly meant the stamping out of the sleeping sickness..
Whether or not the particular fly was the only infecting agent in existence had yet to ba' ascertained. Regarding the cure of the sleep. ing sickness the Professor said that the disease, yielded to treatment when' in its early stage ; but not at its advanced stage. »
In conclusion the speaker pointed out the imporizace of taking nature's workshop as one's investigating laboratory and the com parative fruitlessness of confining oneself within the closed doors of a school room.
