Resistance Against Infection.

Is it possible ir the course of an
established infection to reinforce the
resistance of the body? | have al
ready stated that ii is not practicable
to bring out at the height of an in
lection an efficient heightened reac-
ton of physiological resistance; but
from this it does not follow that
under these conditins a special form
of immunity reaction may not be
elected. The tuberculin reaction. or
that part of it which is specific,
may be cited as an example of this
kind of reinforcement: and what
ever there is Of value in the treat
ment of infectious diseases by means
Of dead cultures of their specific
bacteria-"V sO-clled-must be
of the nature of an intensified i'm
munity reaction. What is sought to
be accomplished in the latter case is
the formation in certain unaffected
localities-in the subcutaneous it's
sues, for eXample-Of immunity prin-
ciples that afterwards by escaping
into the blood shall assist in the
termination of an infectious process
situated elsewhere in the body. Such
local foci of immunity as it is designed
to create in the simultaneous tissue
are not unknown. The pleura can be
given local ammunition to the
typhoid bacill the simultaneous it's
sue to tetanus toxin, and it is
highly probable that the normal re-
sistances exhibited by our mucous
membranes to the pathologenic bac-
terra they harbor are examples of
such local immunities. DR.. Simon
