ending ms way through official, his
DoIlcal whitehall, the correspondent ar
| iiFeu ab the huge modern building,
l.seh IKE whole row of Wall
street granite banks. Entering
lLe severe official portieo, the CORE
spoHuehl passed the vast corridor, where
| numerous funkies, gaudy in crown livery,
Nere apparently very much on the alert,
PROBABLY on account OF the late dynamite
soares. These stately persons bounced
Gown on him, but the official letter from
ar Charles Dixie produced a magical
chehge III their demeanOr, and immedi-
alely he was cOurteOusly ushered into one
OF the many large rooms in the corridor,
where sat in fun official sOemnity Medi-
cal Officers George Buchanan and Robert
FhOrne.
Or. Buchanan-So you are the inoculat-
ed correspondent? Take a seat. Tell me
What Is the state OF the eastern portion of
the peninsula of Spain? Are we to be-
lleYe the accounts from there, which
sound certainly vague? What is the
meaning Of these so-caled suspicious
casesf We are skeptical here, and know
some Spanish doctors do not stand very
high in the medical world.
Your correspondent then repeated the
account of the discoveries made duriug
the Herdtd'S expedition, published on
April % and %.
Dr. Buchanan-NOw will you give me.
as infinitely as possible, the appearance
ana temperature of the patients YOU per
sonally visited?
Correspondent things that struck
me most were the skin drawn tight round
Tue lace, the excessively high temperature
and iustrous eyes.
DIR. Buchanan-Such skin and appear
ahce would certainly Indicate cholera,
but the intense brightness OF the ewes
which you observed would equally con
tfadlct that supposition. Your theory of
the absence of white mucus in the evac-
uatlons regarded as a disproof OF Asiatic
choiera is quite correct. Now do please
tell us about your own cholera inOcula-
tIon-that is most interesting to us?
Your correspondent then gave a fun
description Of the symptoms as described
IN the Herald of April 30, which the crown
doctors followed intently, making inter-
lOcutOry remarks.
DR.. Fhorpe-Very strange, is it not, that
it should work with such rapidity?
Or. Buchanan-Yes; it is unlike any
thing else we know of. If you would al
low US to examine your arms perhaps that
would give US some clew.
Here the doctors examined each arm
separately, but appeared still unable to
satisfy themselves. "There is one fact,0
they said, (which DR.. Ferran ought TO
clear up, but has not done at present. DR..
KOch's bacillus, as you know, are not
found in the blood, but in the excavations
Therefore they want to know how he can
reconcile the fact of introducing into the
blood compound which is foreign to the
blood. We look upon that as vital MISS
ing link, and in your place we would Ger.
tainly not have risked such a danger as to
oil
substance into the system"
Question-Can you tell me why the gov.
eminent stopped DR.. Ferran? Did he kill
any OF his patients2
Correspondent-No the reason is merely
that the government is afraid of any agi.
tatiOn among the people.
DR.. Buchanan thought 1t very likely
there might have been some fatality, and
that that was the reason they forbade in
oculation; "but in any case, )" he said, ''the
discoveries are full OF interest to the medi-
cal professi0n.V
