VACCINATION AGAINST
an
TUBERCULOSIS.
A GREAT FRENCH DISCOVERY
It is just one hundred and fifty, years since Jenner's great disco- vory of the value of vaccination against smallpox, a discovery which has so changed the popular attitude to this disease as to ap pear somewhat of a romance, It is forgotten that, prior to 1765, smallpox was the most dreaded. Scourge of Europe for, besides disfiguring the majority of the peo- ple and blinding not a fow, it ac counted for scmething like one- fourteenth of the total deaths. Now its occurrence is a rarity and many medical men have never seen namodified case of smallpox. Its drond potentialities have been so fur forgottten' that the British Government have permitted and are permitting a considerable
pro- portion of their subjects to ovade, under some pretext or another;. vaccination and are surely laying the foundation for a reckoning which is sure to come. As vac- eination has been of such service to humanity in relation to one dis- case, the same. principle recom- mends itself in the combat with others. Tuberculosis is the even greater scourge of the present day than smallpox was 150 years ago and, in a lecture given by Pro- fessor Calmette of the Pasteur Institute at the Conference on Tuberculosis held in Paris on July. 15th to this year, he describes a method of producing and the re- sults of using an anti-tuberculous vaccine. A laboratory method had to be found which would produce a vaccine containing the living tubercle bacillus, but a bacillus so deprived of its toxicity that it could live in association (ensym- biose) with the tissues of its host without producing tuberculous disease and yet afford protection to infection from without.
The Tubercle Difficulty: The difficulty in dealing with the tubercle bacillus and the reason of fits very great powers of resistance and tenacity of life is that it is protected and enveloped in a fatty to layer and the first step was deprive it of this protection.
This was accomplished by trent-
solution of ox bile and from this the vaccine had received its short cognomen B.C.G. (bacille bilie Calmette Guerin) which also con- veys the names of the researchers.
The production of the vaccine had occupied thirteen years and the bacillus has during that time undergone 230 successive cultur- ings and the results of this pro- longed and laborious research have been extensively tested out on young animals,
In face of the uniformly favour- able results of these tests it seem- ed no longer right to withhold the benefits of the vaccine from hu man beings and it was first tried on a number of infants born of tuberculous mothers or into a tu-. berculous environment.
To establish a figure which would represent the normal mort- ality among infants born of tuber- culous mothers the Institute Pas. teur instituted a wide enquiry and they found that in Paris this amounted to $2.6 per cent and in the rest of France 24 per hundred. Between the first of July 1924 and the 30th June 1926 the number of newly-born children which hava been vaccinated throughout France is 11,208. Of those 1,885 have been under observation by, the Institute for periods varying from six months to two years. Of 1,210 protected from one to two years of whom 291 were born of tubercul- ous mothers. there have been re- corded eleven deaths from mal- adies presumably tuberculous while, in a second group of 568 protected for periods: between "six months and one year and of whom 100 were born of tuberculous mo- thers the mortality was, even less. Over all the groups the mortality
does not rise to even one per cent,
a striking contrast to the 82 per cent for Paris and the 24 per cent for the rest of France.
