may entirely alter the aspect of the quest
for cure for tuberculosis.
Marino observed that all other germs
which multiply rapidly together die II
cultivated with tubercule bacilh after the
elapse of 10 or Is days. His experiments
have established the fact that cultures
of tubercle bacilli within that period give

A few drops of a 40 or 50-day tubercle
culture added to any culture medium pre-

This toxin, which has been isolated, has
characteristics entirely different from
other toxins, such as those from diph-
iberia and tetanus. 1t resists the action
of heat and is neutralzed by neither
anti-tuberculous serums nor ordinary
blood serum. If anything, 1t is less, af-
tected by the former than by the latter.
Further experimentation has shown that

100 villages and towns have been de-
stroyed. Twelve thousand houses have
been burned and 1000 men, women and

estimates, one-third are likely to die of
cold and hunger. Many are living IN
cornstalk lean-tos against the ruins Of
their homes.
There are 5000 refugees in Tirana and
5000 in Scutari.
Wanderers were seen frequently in the
mountains some OF them were clad only
in gunny sacks, others walked in the
snow their feet tied up in rags.
