KELAPSING FEVEE. 



FAOK 



Obermeier's spirillum is the speoiiio cause of the disease — 

 Morphology— Methods of staining— Attempts at culture hitherto 

 imsuecessful — Experiments on monkeys — Pathogenesis — The 

 disease is not common at the present day — Loeventhal's serum 

 diagnosis — Practical disinfection. 



SCARLET FEVER. 



A streptococcus described by Klein in 1882 is probably the 

 specific cause of scarlet fever — Occurrence and distribution of 

 the disease— Mortality greatest in young children— Conveyance 

 of the disease by milk— Number of epidemics caused by 

 infected milk — Difficulty of exercising sanitary control owing 

 to the nature of the infective material — Pathogenesis — Epi- 

 demics — Successful treatment of cases with Marmorek's anti- 

 streptococcic serum. 



SMAH-POX AND VACCINIA. 



Evidence of the relation of smaU-pox to vaccinia — The micro- 

 organisms associated with small-pox and vaccinia — The specific 

 organism not yet definitely discovered — Researches of Klein 

 and Copeman — Copeman's egg-culture experiments — Klein's 

 Bacillus albus variolce probably the specific organism — 

 Glycerised lymph — Jennerian vaccination — Recommendations 

 of Boyal Commission on vaccination — Distribution and patho- 

 genesis of smaH-pox — Preventive measures. 



HYDROPHOBIA. 



No specific organism yet isolated — Symptoms of rabies in the 

 dog — Eaving and dumb madness — Postmortem appearances 

 — Incubation period — Pasteur's method of preventive inocula- 

 tion — Method of preparing the cords — Treatment of patients — 

 Statistics of persons treated — Difficulty of judging how far the 

 results obtained are due to the treatment through want of 

 untreated cases — Stamping-out system— Returns of the Pasteur 

 Institute — Antirabic serum - - 244-272 



CHAPTER X. 



MALARIA. 



Not a disease of bacterial origin — Reasons for believing the 

 Plasmod/ium mala/rim to be the specific cause of the disease — 

 Distribution and occurrence — Forms of the malarial parasite —
