the two first heifers of control, the malady caused by the injec¬ 
tion of carbuncular blood having ceased, acquired in presence of 
repeated injection in the second experiment, would seem to show 
that the morbid process was really carbuncular in nature. 3. 
Vaccination with attenuated lymph (No. 1 Pasteur), although re¬ 
peated, caused no general or local reaction. This allows us to 
suppose that its action is so slight as to justify the attempt, al¬ 
ready successfully made by Perroncito, to omit the first vaccina¬ 
tion, and thus gain valuable time. 4. After using the stronger 
lymph (No. 2 Pasteur), its action should be verified by observing 
the temperature for a few days. It is reasonable to suppose that 
the preventive effect is limited to those animals in which a gen¬ 
eral reaction is developed. If there be no reaction, therefore, 
the vaccination must be repeated. 5. Cool weather is best for 
the vaccination; in the heat of summer, the occurrence of septi¬ 
caemia is more to be feared. 6. The microscopic examination of 
the vaccine liquid prior to its use is necessary to prove the ab¬ 
sence of bacteria of putrefaction, which, while they might destroy 
the prophylactic action of the vaccine for carbuncle, if injected, 
might easily give rise to disastrous consequences.— Med. Record.
