Toxines, anti-toxines, and like bacterial products. - To make tubercle-bacilli preparations, the bacilli are killed by drying in vacuo, and keeping a long time in desiccators protected from light. The bacilli which are cultivated on a nutrient broth such as glycerine, extract of meat, and peptone, are collected on a filter and washed with a sterilized salt solution. The bacilli are spread on flat glass dishes and placed in vacuum desiccators over concentrated sulphuric acid &c. and remain there about a week until drv. The dried tubercle-bacilli are then kept in desiccators in flat open dishes protected from the action of light for several months or years, and are tested as to their power to develop by transferring small quantities to a nutrient medium and by testing their pathogenity for animals by inoculating guinea-pigs. When the above-described two tests give negative results the bacilli are suspended uniformly in a physiological salt solution without using any rough mechanical force which might destroy the bacilli.
