HE BELIEVES HE CAUGHT CONSUMPTION WHILE
EXAMINING BACTERIA

HE RELIEVES HE CAUGHT CONSUMPTION WHILE
EXAMINING BACTERIA
Dr. John NJ Byron one OF the prominent bac-
terologsts Of this country has been suffering from
consumption for several months and he believes
that he contracted the disease while he was pur-
suing his researches and examining tuberculosis
bacteria He has said that he probably inhaled some
OF the bacteria by accident in February last lie
had secured samples of sputum from patients at
hospitals in the city ana had been examining them
with microscope to find the tuberculosis bacteria
While these bacteria are not dangerous while they
are kept wet and samples of sputum TO be eN-
amined are usually kept in tight tubes or bottles
Dr. Byron thinks that he accidentally left some
where they became dry and filed the air with d
