Discovery of the Culture Method.

While studying the disease known as
fowl cholera, Pasteur having shortly be-
fore discovered the particular organism as
ISOLATED with this malady, he was one day
unable to obtain recent or vigorous Gull
tivation Of this microbe, and, wishing to
communicate the disease to another fowl,
he took "faute de mieux," culture
which was old and exhausted. But the
fowl inoculated with this enfeebled growth
of the microbe, instead of dying, survived
the injection, and, moreover appeared
from this time onward to be possessed of
some strange and inexplicable charm
which rendered it proof against all infec-
ton from this disease, for ii was able to
resist subsequent NEGOTIATIONS with the
most yirulent and active fowl cholera mi
crobes. Pasteur, convinced that this was
no accident, but that he was here face to
face with great and important problem,
which, If bc could only unravel, might be-
come OF immense utility, repeated this
chance experiment under numerous differ
ent conditions, with the result, now so
well known to all, that in his hands the
microbe which hitherto had only proved a
malignant foe was constrained to become
the beneilcent protector OF the animal
into which it was inoculated
The study of attenuated viruses and
yaccines was now vigorously pursued, BUT
SO unprepared was the scientific world for
this great step that even Robert KOCH, at
the international medical congress in Lon
don, is stated to have exclaimed when in
1881, Pasteur brought forward his bril-
liant discovery, les list zu gut um wahr
