 G.-test, a worthless sign of pregnancy. After the 

 first month of pregnancy the urine of the gravid woman, 

 if allowed to .stand from thirty hours to eight days, 

 will have formed upon it a pellicle with a cheesy odor 

 and an appearance like the " fatty scum of cooled 

 broth." Kxamined microscopically and chemically 

 the pellicle shows fungi, triple phosphates, fat-globules, 

 and sometimes a peculiar form of albumin. It may 

 be found in urine from men, young girls, and very old 

 women, hence is of no value as a test of pregnancy. 

 The test is also called the Kyestetn Test.

Grawitz's Theory. A theory as to the immunity con- 

 ferred by inoculation. The cells of the body and the 

 bacteria take their nutrition from the same places, and 

 it is a true tight for existence between them. If the 

 cells come out victorious, they become habituated to 

 the struggle with the bacteria, and are more able to 

 resist a second attack, and this quality is transmitted 

 to the succeeding generations of body-cells by heredity. 

 This theory is purely hypothetic.
