In 1871 DR.. Ludwig Letziri,k began micro
scopc investigation TO tho Cause o. tho ii sase.
He showed for the first time that ths nhl, Gun
cougtet up in the early stages of the tisuhse
contained oliptical shaped bscWnish. red fungus
spores. This discovery gave clew to its true
nature, and TO q new channol Of treatment.
Tbs spores arc lodged by ianac.ion under tho
tongue, whore they remain until they sarmirste
and spread along tho sides OF tho tongua snd
backward until thoy reach the larnyx and phsr-
