assistance of DOPTER. These two services include the 

 Pasteur Hospital for the treatment of those infectious 

 diseases which the Institute has studied or is studying. 

 In addition to these more practical applications of 

 the scientific advances in pathology is the service of 

 scientific research (Service de Recherches scientifiques) 

 so-called, formerly under the direction of the late Elie 

 METCHNIKOFF, and including such men as BESREDKA, 

 BURNET, DUJARDIN-BEAUMETZ, and LEVADITI. There 

 is also the service of colonial microbiology (Micro- 

 biologie coloniale) with LAVERAN and MESNIL. The 

 mention of these names alone is sufficient to indicate 

 the type of original investigation that is going on, and 

 in which properly accredited investigators may par- 

 ticipate for a nominal fee to pay the expense of material. 

 Space permits no extended reference to the general 

 medical curriculum in the universities of France outside 

 of Paris. As examples of more advanced work certain 

 men may be mentioned in connection with some of 

 these universities, as for example: RODET in Mont- 

 pellier, COURMONT in Lyon, and particularly CALMETTE 

 in Lille. Lille possesses, in addition to the university, 

 a Pasteur Institute under the direction of CALMETTE, 

 with whom are associated BRETON and GUERIN, whose 

 work in occupational diseases and particularly in tuber- 

 culosis is well known.
