and cartridges and keep himself ready for
any emergency.
In the same fashion the presence of a
few impotent microbes invariably causes
the body to produce antitoXn. Therefore,
let us inject into the blood few bacilli Of
the disease which it is sought to avoid.
Precaution must be taken to weaken them
in such way that the first volley Of anti
toxin bullets will lay them low. After they
are all dead, antitoXin will continue to be
produced in excess of the demand and will
remain in the blood ready to destroy the
next army of invasion.
This immunity viii be conferred on the
organism for several months in the case of
typhoid; for several years in the case of
other diseases. AT the time of the Trans
vaal war, British regiments treated accord

typhoid, while other corps were decimated
terribly.
Here again experimenters We're baffied in
their efforts to secure certain kinds OF
weakened baclli, for there are few dis
eases, the most dangerous. by the way,
which cannot be communicated to animals.
And the only way to obtain such bacilli is
to take them from the blood of animals
like the cow or horse after several suc-t
cessiye NEGOTIATIONS.
At this stage Of the game. our first
cousins, the great primates, savedsthe day.
Thanks to the apes, orangs and monkeys,
the germs of blood poison and of smallpox
and the antitoxin of spotted fever were
discovered. and in addition facts were es-
tablished facilitating the study of infan-
tile paralysis.
