MALIGNANT EDEMA 253 
containing spores after heating it to 92° C. for seven hours (Leclainche 
and Vallée). These inoculations protect only against malignant 
edema and not at the same time against symptomatic anthrax, as 
Leclainche and Vallée have proved in contradiction to the earlier 
experiences of Roux and Diinschmann. There seems to be no suc- 
cessful method for immunizing animals against this infection.
