Similar experiments were made, on the same day, with the 
saliva of the diseased cow, taken from the mouth. They gave 
the same result, though the lesions of the lungs were less ad¬ 
vanced. 
An injection of a few drops of urine from a hog was made at 
the base of the ear of a nearly full-grown rabbit. After a few 
weeks he begun to lose flesh, and death occurred after four 
months with caseous pneumonia. 
Important conclusions can be drawn from these experiments 
in view of the hygienic measures proper to be taken in public 
slaughter-houses. 
I made some experiments upon the same tuberculous cow, 
which seem to be of some importance in view of the danger of 
contagion which may result from the use of vaccine which has 
been obtained from a tuberculous subject, 
' The same cow was inoculated with the vaccine obtained from 
a child in perfect health, and of healthy parents. Seven punc¬ 
tures were made around the vulva. Several days after, the pus¬ 
tules were developed. On the seventh or eighth day, these having 
become umbilicated, I inoculated the serosity to four rabbits and 
one pig. Two rabbits, killed two months later, showod all the 
lesions of tuberculosis, local, ganglionary and pulmonary. The 
pig, at that time, presented one local tubercle, well developed. 
He will be killed later, but generalizations are already evident, 
and he is undoubtedly in a tuberculous condition .—Academie des

VACCINATION AGAINST SYMPTOMATIC ANTHRAX. 
By Arloing ajjd Cornevin. 
The discovery of M. Pasteur, relating to the attenuation of 
deadly virus to such an extent as to render it a vaccinal virus, was 
not destined to wait long before finding its application, not only 
in chicken cholera, but in anthrax, as other experiments of Pas¬ 
teur & Toussaint have proved. 
The discovery made by MM. Arloing and Cornevin differ 
from the other, as instead of the attenuated they have used the
