THERAPEUTIC REVIEW.

tuberculosis, as claimed by a few, seems on the contrary to ac¬ 
celerate it. The bactericide action of tannin in these conditions 
of inoculation is nil. But these do not interfere, at least to this 
date, with the data of clinical observations nor some experi¬ 
mental facts of another order which speak in favor of the effi¬ 
cacy of tannin when administered through the digestive canal 
in tuberculous man and animals. Indeed, it is known that 
bodies, slightly bactericide, such as iodoform, are, however, very 
active against infection.— {Soc. Biol.^ Dec. ’97.) 
Upon Some Cardio-vascuear Modifications Produced 
BY Mauueine in Glanderous Animals \By MM. J. Gurnard 
and A. Rabieaux \.—In a previous note, the authors had al¬ 
ready exposed the cardio-vascular effects of malleine in healthy 
animals. They have since made experiments to find out if 
there were any differences in the mode of reaction of glanderous 
individuals. They used in their experiments brute malleine 
which they obtained from Pasteur Institute. With the excep¬ 
tions of some variations of less marked intensity in the effects 
and the secretory action, they have failed to find any essential 
differences in the cardio-vascular modifications by the malleini- 
zation of horses affected with glanders.— {Soc. Biol.^ Dec.^ ’ 97 -)
