O
known yathogenia bacteria But we have
presence of antitoxines in ami
against yaccinia, two infectious
diseases in which the specific infectious
agent has not been demonstrated. Pro-
lessor Tizzoni and his associate, DR..
Schwarz, have recently (1s92) published
the results of their experiments relating to
the presence of an antitoxine In the blood
Of rabbits which have an acquired immun-
ity against rabies. And have shown by
experiments made during the past two
months that the blood of vaccinated, and
consequently immune, calves contains an
antitoxine which neutralizes the specific
vtrulence of vaccine virus, both human
and bovine; also that blood serum from
person who has recently suffered an at
tack of smallpox neutralizes vaccine virus
after contract for two or three hours.
The account which have given of the
experimental evidence relating to the pres
ence of antitoxines, or as they are called
by Hank1n, defensive proteids," in the
body of immune animals has been largely
taken from paper which I read at a re-
cent meeting (May, 1899 of the Associa-
ton of American Physicians, entitled
I Practical Results of BacterioloeicaI Re-
searches" Time will not permit me on
the present occasion to consider the ques-
ton Of therapeutic possibilities in the use
Of antitoxines, but I may mention that we
already have reports of Elk cases of trau-
| matte tetanus successfully treated with the
| tetanus antitoxine obtained by Professor
| Tizzoni from the blood of immune dogs.

ment. But whatever may be the
practical results following the discovery of
these defensive porteids" in the bodies of
immune animals 1t must be admitted that
this addition to our knowledge is an i'm
portant event in the history of scientific
medicine. For this reason, and because
the experimental evidence is of such recent
date that the facts are not generally known,
address,
1t Is scarcely necessary to add that the
experimental evidence detailed gives
strong support to the view that ACQUIRED
Immunity depends upon the formation of !
antitoxines in the bodies of immune ami |
mails. 1t is also probable that recovery
from an infectious disease depends upon |
the formation of an antitoxine during the |
attack, by which the toxic substances civ |
ing rise to the morbid phenomena charao-
terizing each specific disease are neutral |
lied in the body of the infected individual. |
