morning of the nth of April Nos. 2 and 3 of these exhibited 
the same symptoms with those of Nos. 1-4 in the first experi¬ 
ment. One of these I killed one hundred and twenty-four 
hours after the inoculation, with the following discoveries: 
Post-mortem results: Small tumor lienis ; slight intestinal ca¬ 
tarrh ; no anthrax germ, either under the microscope or in 
the cultures made from the lien bowels, or from the injection 
spot. I also killed the other, as he showed signs of convales¬ 
cence, late in the afternoon of April nth, (or after one hun¬ 
dred and thirty hours). 
Post-mortem: Slight intestinal catarrh ; no tumor lienis; 
microscope and cultures both negative as to germs of anthrax. 
Why did not No. 1 become sick, though he got stronger 
virus, 1 cannot explain, except that he was a stronger animal, 
and more able for that reason to resist the disease. 
Experiment II.—Solution 1-3000. Preparations of the 
silk threads as in the first experiment; day of the inoculation, 
31st of March at 4.30 p.m. On April 4th, two pigs (1 and 3) 
were sick in the morning. At noon pigs Nos. 2, 4 and 5 were 
sick, and in the evening all the others were in a similar con¬ 
dition. They all recovered. In three of the controlled cases 
the post-mortem discoveries were similar to those of the first 
experiments, and there was no trace of anthrax germs. 
Experiment III. — Solution 1-4000; same experiments 
and same results. 
Experiment IV.—Solution 1-5000. This time one change 
was noticed; the day of inoculation 31st of March at 5 p.m. 
On the morning of April 4th pigs Nos. 1, 2 and 3 were 
dead; 5 and 6 were very sick, lying in a comatose state in 
their cage, while No. 8 showed only slight indications of sick¬ 
ness. The remaining subjects continued healthy. No. 8 re¬ 
covered in the afternoon of the same day, and took some food. 
Nos. 5 and 6 were convalescent the next day. At the post¬ 
mortem of Nos. 1, 2 and 3 all the anatomical lesions of an¬ 
thrax were present, lienis tumor, especialty in No. 1 ; dark 
liquid, non-coagulating blood, muddy hemorrhagic catarrh of 
the intestines; with the microscope anthrax bacillus. In the 
hanging drop of the excavated object glass, in nutritious
