New York, March 9.-The Rookie
Teller institute in this city believes that

prevent the disease" says DR.. Flexner

enters the body, the main source OF
infection and the means of combating
the disease.

that tho most powerful microscope
fails to reveal it, yet there are ac-
curate methods by which its nature
and presence have been determined
