As regards the nojot chemical disinfectants, it has been found that the microbe is extremely consitive to that of ucide, especially of inorgesio side, sulphuric acid, for instance, in a strengib of in 1929, nitric acid in a strength of Tie 18, and hydrochloric acid in a strength of 1 in 500 destroying it in dve minutes; whity, among organic acids, the suas affect was produced by formis seit in a strength of 1 ja 100, sectio void in a strength of 1 in 142, and lactic acid in a strength of 1 in 333. With reference so the action of the lust-mortioned substance, it buy be added that the microho is incapab ervicing in milk tirat has stond long enough Por its production in any quantity, With raisenou of irritating properties, gard to the node in which the baciles extors the system, Dr. Bilter is of opinion that, in enses of singio babenja piague, infection gener- ally takes place through a discontinuity in the skin; that in paemmoiie cases it occurs through. the lungs, and that in ange 'cases it takes place through the topsils or the intestinal tract.
