itself within the intestinal tract of these human subjects (A and D), 

 the same individuals received 500 cubic centimeters of B. acidophilus 

 milk for twenty and ten days respectively in place of the 1000 cubic 

 centimeters of B. hvlgaricus milk. Within one to three days an almost 

 complete simplification of intestinal flora took place in both subjects, 

 as was shown by the whey agar plates, Veillon tubes and Gram-stained 

 films of the fecal suspensions. (See Tables 67 and 68, and Chart 42.)
