Excerpt from Hygienic Institutes: The Utility of Their Work of Investigation, and the Need of It in This Country Innocuous through successive cultivations in different media, but it may also. By culture in some other animal or in appropriate media, be so attenuated or changed in character as to produce the disease, indeed, but in a milder or perhaps essentially modi fied form, and through the introduction of this less deleterious form of the disease to protect the system for a time against its attacks of a severer character. The efficacy of vaccination is, undoubtedly, due to this. The brilliant researches of Pasteur on chicken-cholera and the anthrax of sheep Show that this principle is capable of a much wider application, and inspire the hope that the thorough experimental investigation of pathogenic organisms will lead in time to the determination of means of inoculation whereby human beings and the useful lower animals may be pro tected from the ravages of all deadly contagious diseases. Already the claim has been raised of similar results in some very recent Investigations of yellow fever, but of the results of these and of some other recent investigations on scarlet fever it is, as yet, too early to judge.
