Five months after incubation with
another sample of Oleomargarine, the
pig which had been used for the expert
ment was chloroformed for examina-
ton. The animal was in fair condi-
ton, but the left lung showed incipient
tuberculosis, and this disease was also
apparent in the spleen, and there were
several calcareous tubercuiar nodules
adherent to the sternum. A prepare
ton made from this same sample had
shown the presence of a germ which
.ould scarcely be anything but the tu-
berculosis bacillus. The result of the
incubation confirmed this diagnosis.
The NEGOTIATIONS of all the animals
were made by introducing in the side
bit of fat the size Of a small pea.
The incision healed rapidly, and at
the time of the autopsies there was
no evidence of local LESSONS or any
effect which might have been due di-
rectly to the mechanical part of the
tnOculations
A number of other guinea pigs have
been inoculated with different samples
Of oleomargarine, but at this writing
tafter eight mOnths) have not con-
tracted disease from the oleomargarine
incubation. Two OF the samples
which caused disease in the animals
were made at a factory where the ma
terial used may have been question
able in character.
Our incubation experiments show
conclusively that disease may be com
munlcated by means of oleomargarine.
The objection might be raised that dis
ease could also be communicated in
The same way by butter. 1t is. how
