chancre; same result, c. Four inoculations with the mucus;

Exp. 2.—Inoculation on a rabbit, made wdth the lancet, 
w'ith the virus of an enormous phagedsenic chancre ; no effect. 
Exp). 3.—Inoculation of another rabbit with the same virus ; 
the same result, id est nil. 
The rabbits w'hich served for the above experiments were 
inoculated nine times with the virus of the same chancre — 
four times with the lancet, once on a sore produced by caustic 
potash, care being taken to dress the sore with lint dipped 
in the virus of the same chancre.^ once by incision, twice by 
setons imbued with the virus of the same—the results of all 
which w ere negative. 
Exp. 4.— A. Three inoculations made on a heifer with the 
pus of an enormous phagedaenic chancre, which, inoculated in 
the patient, had produced an ulcer of a phagedaenic character ; 
result nil. b. Inoculation on the same animal, by scarifica¬ 
tion, the same result. 
Exp. 5. —Inoculation of a heifer, first, with the pus of a 
chancre phagedeniqvx, twm punctures and one incision; effect 
nil. Second, on the same animal, with the same virus and 
the vaccine of the cow'-pox mixed, three punctures w'ere 
made ; development of three pustules of the cow-pox, well
