Valuable Experiments on the Inocula

Valuable Experiments the Inocula.

DIR. Carlos Finlay, of Havana. has
published the results Of several expert.
ments he has made on the inoculabiiity
of yellow fever. He performed the
operation, or rather got it performed
for him by mosquitoes. which he caused
first to sting patient suffering from
yellow fever and shortly afterward a
healthy person who was TO be with his
own consent of course) the subject of
the experiment. He found that the dis
case was only inoculable from the third
TO the sixth day. When two mosquitoes
were employed. so that double dose
was given, the symptoms of the expert
mental disease were somewhat more
severe than when only = single mos.
quito was used. OF eleven cases Of in
oculation, six were efficacious. one
doubtful and four negative. The period
Of incubation varied from five to four
teen days: the symptoms consisted of
headache. pyrexia, injection. with
sometimes an icteric tint Of the con-
junctiva. and in some cases slbuminuria.
The fever lasted, as in the ordinary
form, from five to twenty-one DAYS.
The author believes that this method of
producing artificial yellow fever will
ultimately be found very valuable as a

dangerous form Of the disease. -Lo,.don
