It was only on tlie 28th of June that M. Renault^ after having 
announced the case of Toulouse by communicating a letter he 
had received from M. Lafosse,, in which it was still the ques¬ 
tion of the grease^ made the remark that the mare of M. 
Corail was not affected with the grease. M. Renault had not 
seen this mare. These are the true and simple facts of what 
took place as to the determination of the diagnosis of the 
malady of the mare of M. Corail. 
M. Bouley demanded permission to resume^ in a few words, 
the discussion. It results from these discussions, he said, 
this incontestable fact, that it is the horse which is the source 
of the vaccine,* but what is the malady which gives rise to the 
vaccine ? This is what is yet completely ignored, and which 
remains to be determined by future experiments. We repeat 
the proposition, or rather the wish, that the school at Alfort 
may be entrusted with these experiments.
