TUBERCULIN IN GUINEA-PIGS AND RABBIT INOCULATED WITH 
TUBERCULOSIS. 
By K. Yamagiva. 
When tuberculin is injected into animals already inocu¬ 
lated with tuberculosis, after the first or the second week one 
finds metastatic centers in the lymphatic ganglions, the spleen, 
the liver and the lungs. Besides this, the spleen contains de¬ 
posits of pigment. The bacilli are in great number under 
the same form, and possess the same coloring powder in ani¬ 
mals simply inoculated with tuberculin, or those which have 
previously been inoculated with tuberculosis. 
And again, the injection of tuberculin does not protect 
an animal from ulterior infection of its organs when he is in¬ 
oculated subsequently with the tuberculous bacillus. When 
a guinea-pig is inoculated with the bacilli of a metastatic cen¬ 
ter from the lung of a rabbit treated by tuberculin, the bacilli 
continue to develop and grow in the inoculated guinea-pig.—

ACTION OF BOVINE BLOOD SERUM ON THE VIRUS OF GLAND¬ 
ERS, AND ITS CURATIVE POWER IN EXPERIMENTAL 
GLANDERS OF GUINEA-PIGS. 
By P. N. Chenot and J. Picq. 
Conclusions of the Experiment .— 1st. The bovine blood 
serum possesses a bactericide property on the virus of gland¬ 
ers. 2d. Animals infected with equine virus, and treated 
with the serum before and after glanderous inoculation, re¬ 
cover seven times out of ten. 3d. Animals condemned to a 
fatal and rapid end by the excessive virulency of cultures re¬ 
sulting from successive generation in the guinea-pig, have 
survived from twenty-one to forty-two days, while witnesses 
died in five days. 4th. Post-mortems of aniftials considered 
during life as recovered have shown evident alterations of
