In the case of the salicylic acid experiments, one kitten fed on salicylized milk 
increased in weight from October 23, when the experiments were commenced, till 
December 4, when the experiments ended. A second kitten decreased in weight, 
and died on December 16. The third kitten at first increased in weight, and then 
began to lose, and died on November 27. Of the control kittens, the first and 
second increased in weight from the commencement to the end of the experiments ; 
the third died too soon after the commencement of the observations for any deductions 
to be made. These experiments show that salicylic acid has an injurious effect, 
though less marked than boracic acid, but further research is necessary. 
The injurious effects of formalin were fully dealt with in last year's Annual 
Report. 
2. Experiments and Observations upon the significance of the 
Bacillus enteritidis sporogenes 
Like the Bacillus coli, this organism is systematically looked for in waters and 
food-stuffs. Dr. Klein has laid considerable stress upon its presence, as he considers 
that it is capable of causing diarrhoea much in the same way as the Bacillus coli.
