London. states that he inoculated two
cows upon the shoulders with the diph
theritic virus. The incubation was fol
lowed by the occurrence of vesicles and
pustules upon their udders. and mi
crobes were found in their milk. Two
calves were inoculated with the matter
taken from the v~esicles and pustules.
and similar eruptions were produced
in them, followed by broncho- pneumo

in the cows. Two cats fed with the
