Pyorrhœa alveolxris.—All the nine cases were streptococcal. Of the four in which the
result is reported two seem to have benefited. Both these cases are interesting, as one of
them was complicated with rheumatic pains in the joints and the other had digestive troubles
traceable to the pyorrhœa. Both these complications were relieved by the vaccine treatment.

Case 54.—The patient's gums were in a very foul condition, pus and blood oozing from
between the teeth and gums. There was in addition to this a rheumatic trouble in all the
bigger joints of the body, preventing locomotion. Six irjections of the autogenous
streptococcus vaccine up to 100 million completely cleared up the condition of the gums and
cured the patient of the joint pains.
Case 58—is one of pyorrhœa of seven years' standing with purulent and fœtid discharge
from the gums, disturbed digestion and a run down state of the general health. The
autogenous streptococcus vaccine and an anti-septic tooth paste improved not only the
condition of the gums but the general health as well.
Acne .—The seven vaccines were made for five patients Of these one was a case of
suppurating sebaceous cysts and the remaining four of true acne. The acne bacillus could
not be isolated from any of these and the autogenous staphylococcus vaccine had to be issued
combined with a stock acne vaccine in one of the cases. The reports on most of these
are incomplete.

Inflammations of the mouth, throat, nose, ear and conjunctiva .—The pneumococcus,
B. Influenzæ, streptococcus, M. Paratetragenus and B. septis were the organisms associated
with pharyngeal tonsillar and nasal inflammations. Autogenous vaccines were effective in
these cases. The part played by the B. Xerosis in conjunctival inflammations is not definite
and in one case only out of four was any real benefit derived by the vaccine treatment.
