Case 95 was the only eye case that benefited by vaccine treatment. It was a case of
c o n j u n c t i v i t i s a n d i r i t i s o f a b o u t 8 m o n t h s ' d u r a t i o n w i t h p a i n , h e a d a c h e , a n d d i m n e s s o f
vision. Cultures were made from the conjunctival discharge and a combined autogenous
vaccine of streptococci and B. Xerosis was prepared. Three injections of 3, 5 and 7½ millions
greatly improved the condition of the eye but the patient unfortunately discontinued the
treatment as he persisted in getting discharged from the hospital.
Asthma, bronchitis and lung affections .—Of the thirty-five cases of this class for whom
autogenous vaccines were made, sixteen cases only had a more or less complete course of
treatment, the vaccine not having been used or the result not reported upon in the remaining
cases. Of the sixteen cases, two were reported as cured, five as much improved, eight as
improved and in one only was the vaccine ineffective. The favourable reports were obtained
in cases where the characteristic organisms of the sputum, namely the pneumococcus, B.
Influenzæ and M. Catarrhalis were isolated either singly or in combination.
