REPORT UPON KOCH’S ANTI-TUUERCULAR FLUID. 267 
lymph glands of the chest; the spleen was somewhat swollen, 
and in the caseous masses of the lungs numerous bacilli were 
proven. 
Case II.—Experiment cow, seven years old, Holland breed, 
weighing 590 kils.; not pregnant, and giving milk only from 
three teats ; from the fourth teat a small quantity of a slightly 
opaque, watery fluid, was expressible; in the latter and in 
the milk secretion no bacilli could be detected. Rectal tem¬ 
perature, 100-101°; pulse, 48; respiration, 12-14 P er minute. 
Injected on the 26th January at 9 a. m.; shortly afterward 
the temperature began to ascend, and at 8 p. m. it stood at 
104.4°; on the following day, 1 a. m., it reached the acme, 
105.6° ; by 7 a. m. the thermometer indicated 104° ; from this 
time the retreat was continuous up to 3 p. m. when it had 
sunk to 101.5°. Post mortem exposed many discreet and con¬ 
fluent tubercular collections in* the lungs, spleen, liver and 
lymph glands ; echinococci were also found in the lungs and 
liver bacilli in the caseous product. 
The pyretic reaction required about eleven hours to 
develop, and persisted for the same length of time. Some 
hours subsequent to the introduction of the lymph the point 
of injection was swollen and red, and upon pressure the 
patients evinced pain; these symptoms disappeared, however, 
during the following day. 
Case III.—Control, or physiological subject of the Anglo 
race, three years old and weighing 327 kilo. Temperature, 
100-101° ; pulse, 52 ; respiration, 1 i-i6per minutes. Inoculated 
January 26th at 9 a. m.; neither a general nor a local reaction 
visible ; post mortem also negative. 
The execution of more comprehensive experiments is under 
consideration. These results essentially agree with those 
of Dr. Sticker, of Cologne, who injected 0.41 ccm. of the Koch 
fluid in each of four cows suspected to be tubercular. From 
seven to nine hours after the same, a fever reaction was 
observed ; the post mortem confirmed tubercle in the lungs 
of all
