Berlin.
Title: Process for making curative
and protective serums against tubercu-
losis.
Claims Of the petitioner.
First. Process for the manufacture Of
curative and protective serum against
tuberculosis, characterized by the fact
that for man and mammals tubercular
bacilli. nonvirulent or made nonvirulent,
or other acid-proof bacilli Of like quality,
or mixtures Of different nonvirulent bacilli
are transplanted al short intervals Of five
to ten days on Naehrboeden (material used
as the foundation for the culture) for a
long time: that Is to say, for several
years; whereupon, In the usual manner.
either the bacilh and the Naehrboeden
are operated as effective curative prod
ucts. or the bacilli are worked over with
the Naehrboeden or any emulsion or 9TH
er means for keeping them suspending In
solutions.
Killed by HnmmerinG.
Two-Method Of procedure. according to
patent claim characterized by the fact
that the baciln produced. according to
patent claim No. 1. are exposed to re-
peated 4. passages through the body of
man or closely related animals. by leav-
ing them for some time in those bodies.
and then by continuous culture of the
bacilli changed in this manner in proper
cultures, or, in the treatment Of man or
mammal, by breeding and continuing fur
Their culture Of these bacteria produced.
according to patent claim !. ard pre-
served in the secretions or other parts
of the body.
Three-Manner Of developing the pro.
cedure, according to patent claim 1 and
bacilli produced, according to patent
claim / and 2,sare killed by hammering
before their further use.
Four-Manner Of developing the pro-
cess according to claim !, characterized
by the fact that In place Of nonvirulent
bacilli, virrlent baciIli and nonvirulent
bacilli are mixed in one and the same
culture (Naehrboeden) and then further
developed.
Description of Serum.
Description-While In all other known
processes for the manufacture of tuber-
cular curative and protective serums, in
which tubercular bacilli were used as in
itial material. virulent bacilli or bacilli
with strong toxical effect were used.
which, in spite Of all efforts to deprive
them by chemical or mechanical pro-
cesses Of their poisons, naturally always
did considerable harm. or at least en-
dangered the organism, the procedure Of
this invention rests on the fact that the
curative and protective materials are
produced from nonvirulent tubercular
cultures, or such made nonvirulent, at
from tubercular or other bacilli not at
fected by acids.
According to this present Invention
living cultures of such tubercular bacil-
Ii or Of other bacilli not affected by
acids, not poisonous for man or mann
mails. or which have been made nonvir-
ulent, are treated for a long time by
a continual change of culture repeated
In short intervals, in proper artificial
Naehrboeden The continually repeated
injections in new cultural material take
place at short intervals of perhaps from
flve to ten days, while as periods Of
treatment perhaps from two to four
years must be taken sinto consideration,
according to the energy of growth Of
such cultures.
For IN this way. on account Of the
