EXPERIMENTAL PATHOLOGY. 
ganglions of the axilla were almost in the full caseous evolu¬ 
tion. The spleen, liver, and hypertrophied lungs were filled 
with miliary points ; at the base of the heart and the hilus of 
the liver were seen true lymphatic,glands, of new formation. 
2d. Solles also inoculated six healthy guinea-pigs with 
foecal matter, containing numerous bacilli of Koch, which he 
obtained from a patient suffering with pulmonary lesions, 
but without enteritis. In two pigs the inoculations were 
made with matter diluted in phenic acid, at twenty-five 
per cent. In these the infection did not take place, only a 
small indurated point appearing at the place of inoculation, 
which after acting as a local tuberculosis, disappeared. It 
is probable that if the phenic acid did not destroy the bacilli, 
it interfered with its germinative power. 
Two other pigs were inoctilated with the matter diluted 
in boiled water, and warmed to 65° C. In these cases the re¬ 
sults were also negative, showing neither local nor general 
infection. The last two received inoculations of the foecal 
matter simply diluted in sterilized water, and the result was 
positive, the liver, spleen, lungs, etc., presenting unmistakable 
lesions of tuberculosis.— Rev. des. S. M. 
TUBURCULOUS INOCULATION IN THE DOG. 
By Herioourt and Riohet. 
In experimenting upon various animals, and especially upon 
monkeys, it has been possible to protect them against human, 
by an inoculation of aviar tuberculosis. But these attempts 
were more successful upon dogs, which are nearly refractory 
to the latter, but very susceptible to the first; inoculation is 
then evident. Indeed, two dogs which had about two months 
before received intra-venous injections of aviar culture, having 
been inoculated by injection through the saphena of human tu¬ 
berculous culture,lived and remained healthy four months after, 
while the other dogs, inoculated with the same culture, but 
without anterior aviar injection, died in twenty days. This 
gives a hope that among the various tuberculous bacilli may 
be found varities which will bring on inoculation.— Rev. des
