Hr. Dcclat's Discovery.


A Paris letter TO the Chicago
Times says: The new "antiseptie
method has operated twenty-five
new cases at different stages of the
malajy during the yellow fever
epidemic that now reigns in Brazil.
DR.. de Llcaille, of Rio Janelio,
who performed these cures, seems
to have discovered the yellow fever
germ. He says that be observed
in the blood of d yellow fever
patient, with the use OF n microscope
magniiyIng only $50 times, ten to
twelve micrococci on every globule
OF the blood. The micrococci after
ward transformed themselves into
microbes, aud this trap sforlnation
coincided exactly with the diiierent
stages OF the malady. DIR. de
Lacaille, initiating Pasteur, has
completely succeeded in cultivatiug
the microeocci, audi, after having
slightly modified their virculence
by ozonidcatiou, he vacclnated
several animals, and, finding that
the force of the virus had greatly
diminished, he vaccinated himself.
Alter a few days he had an ague
fit, then became exceedingly fever
ish, his temperature varying from
~ to %, and even goiug up to 20
eentigrade. AS he got better
rapidly, and not feeling any per
mcious after effects, he did not hes
itate to yacciuate his own children,
and even q certain number of
Europeans, chiefly resident French.
men. The persons vaccinated had
all The foregoing symptoms, and
seem to have received complete i'm
munty from the epidemic, whether
temporary or not it is as yet i'm
possible to say. This is the treat.
ment M. de Lacaille followed in
his twenty-five cures. In the first
stages of the malady (nicrococci)
he employed a solution OF glyco.
pheuique as an Injection Qavement);
and acid phenique sirup taken
internally; in the second stages
(microbes) he gave hyrodermic lu-
jections, and phenate d'ammon-
iaque, or even sulfo phenique inter-
nally. These facts are important
enough fol you to present them to
your readers, and hope shortly
to be able to send you several
others of leprosy, as well as one OF
elephantiasis, cured by the same
(Declat's) antiseptic method.
