THROOP LECTURE
Prof. E. b. Hoag spoke before the stu
dents of Throop Polytechnic this morn
ing on ''Disease-Producing Bacteria" He
discussed particularly the bacteria that
are present in cases Of blood poisoning
stating that more men were killed in the
war by blood-poisoning than by bullets
The reason was stated to be that It was
largely owing to the fact that surgeons
did not then know how to treat wounds
with antiseptics. In the common instance
of wound by a rusty nail, which so often
results in blood-poisoning and lock-jaw
the blood-poisoning is due rather to the
filth and decaying matter amongst which
rusty nails are generally found than to
the rust itself, which is harmless. The
bacteria of diphtheria lodge in the throat
and go nowhere else but the toxine which
they produce gets into the blood and so
to cope with this disease something to
counteract toxine must be used.
