TUBERCULOSIS AND GLANDERS. 
By Me. Chebrin. 
A series of experiments was instituted to decide whether, as 
differing from syphilis, tuberculosis and glanders can be inocu¬ 
lated to an individual already tuberculous and glandered. The 
results showed that ten guinea pigs, of which three were evidently 
tuberculous, with both local and general symptoms, were again 
successfully inoculated with tuberculosis. Two others presented 
ulcerations at the seat of the second inoculation, the ulcers having 
the microscopical aspect of tuberculous ulcerations, but containing 
no bacilli. (These are not counted in the statistical report of the 
experiments.) Three guinea pigs, with lesions of glanders, were 
also’re-inoculated with the virus of the same disease, and in all 
three, a second chancre made its appearance at the point of the 
second puncture. 
The conclusion is adopted that these two diseases are re- 
inoculable in individuals previously affected.— {Ibid.)

as he termed it, and had placed him under treatment of his own 
devising, consisting in a severe mustard plaster upon the whole
