MISCELLANEOUS ORGANISMS OF SUPPURATION DESCRIBED 

 MORE FULLY ELSEWHERE. 



Before leaving the subject of suppuration, attention must 

 be directed to other bacteria that under exceptional circum- 

 stances become the cause of suppuration. Among these are 

 the pneumococcus of Frankel and Weichselbaum, the typhoid 

 bacillus, Bacillus coli communis, and the Micrococcus tetra- 

 genus. These organisms are considered under separate and 

 appropriate headings, to which the reader is advised to refer.
