Dr. p. b, Jackson was asked Yesterday

Galveston in his microscopic ANALYSIS of

as FOUND by Professor Smith of Gal,

inaiariai because the Algerian professor
was the first to find it in November 1sso
and he so named it. 1t has since been dis
covered by Marchiafava, Cellit and Golpi

be stated that the existence of the haemat-

Archnard was the first to prove that the
naematczoon can exist in the blood of n
yellow fever patient. He has already duly
claimed this priority and is seconded by
Wasdin and Olliphant. He publishes the en-
graVure OF the section OF kidney showing
the ichteroides bacillus. and states tnat
.ho plfsmodium malarial was also abund-
antly Indicated in this unfortunate and
coomed girls blood. Gueseppe Sanarelli
the new famous Montevideo professor, has
shown to the complete satisfaction of the
Uruguayah authorities AMI all scientific
minds that the cause of yellow fever is
this bacillus ichteroides. which has spe-
cific action upon the capiilaries of the
