LE CHARBON ET LA VACCINATION CHARBONNEUSE, D’APRES LES 
TRAVAUX RECENTS DE M. PASTEUR. (ANTHRAX AND VAC¬ 
CINATION, FROM THE RECENT DISCOVERIES OF M. PASTEUR.) 
By Ch. Chamberland. * 
This work is a resume of all that is known upon the question 
of vaccination against anthrax. 
A portion of the book contains the various reports made by 
M. Pasteur before the Academy of Sciences, each one of which 
constitutes a discovery by itself. They possess, therefore, not 
only a scientific, but an historic interest, and prove that the prin¬ 
ciple of vaccination is well established notwithstanding the occur¬ 
rence of a few cases of unsatisfactory and partial success in its 
application. 
The numerous experiments and wonderful results are reported 
in detail, from those of Pouilly-le-fort to those performed in Hun¬ 
gary, in Germany, in Italy, in Belgium, in Switzerland, and in 
England. 
Mr. Chamberland supplements some considerations upon the 
duration of the immunity acquired which, however, cannot yet 
be accepted as established, by reason of the shortness of the per¬ 
iod since the inoculations were made. 
The volume contains over 300 pages of interesting reading 
matter, and is illustrated with a number of plates representing 
the appearance of the blood as seen under the microscope, both 
in health and during various stages of development of the bac- 
terdie.
