DR.. Guarieri Of Pisa, Italy, claims TO
have discovered the microbe of smallpox,
for which medical scientists have been
searching for years. The germ is not a
bacterium, but an amgba-a jelly-lke
organism representing one of the lowest
forms of animal life. Much is to be
hoped from this discovery, since the
disease Is always present in every coun-
try, ready to any time break out into a
fearful pestience. Vaccination has been
effectual in keeping the malatiy down,
but in spite Of that fact the fatalities
caused by 1t have been large in number.
During the middle ages it was the cause
Of 500, 900 deaths in Europe annually,
and in one year 100000 persons In
Russia died of it. In 1927 it caused g.
