In the manner just described. that is
to say, these now absolutely nonpois-
onous cultures, repeatedly exposed to
passages through the body of man or
related to animals or by leaving them
for some time in those bodies. and by
breeding the bacilli. changed In this
way in proper cultures. extraordinarily

several drains can he successfully used
III these passages through the proper
bodies. For. after a somewhat lengthy
stay. perhaps after eight or twelve
months, all the bacilli have not yet
succunbcd either to complete gradual
rcsorption or dissolution. we gain from
the surviving bacilli products which
still show considerable increase of i'm
munity and curative value.
AS first material for the procedure
in question, the tubercular bacini of
the turtle can be used as described in
Parasites and Infectional Diseases.

Curative and protective serums pro-
duced according 10 the different ways
OF the present procedure are used
either dry or in <Jitablc emulsions or
suspended In solutions
The employment of curative and pro-
tective serums gained according to this
invention in cmulsions or sT utions
may be made. for example. by uie use
of water. solution OF salt. broth, oils.
fats or any other appropriate means.
The naehrboeden contain curative
and protective matter However. they
are free of harmful secondary effects
as no dangerous poisons are in them.
Consequently the solid or fluid naehr-
boeden. on which the cultures have
been bred, can be used with good sue
cess both alone or with proper add-
tions. and also together with tho ba-
cilli instead of the bacterial emulsions
or solutions mentioned above.
Besides their employment for injec-
tions. these emulsions or solutions
(suspensionen), or the solid or fluid
naehrboeden separated from the ba-
cilli can be used for external applica
tons. as for instance for cataplasms
salves, plasters and so on for local
application on tubercularly affected
parts of the body
If then, for curative effect, such
curative material containing living
bacilli is applied to the person 1t Is
Impossible to reproduce other cultures
from the substances taken from the
person treated. For instance, from
secretions or from protective and cura-
tive preparations produced according
to this present invention, it Is possible
to produce available material. If such
substances or preparations still con-
tain living bacilli. Cultures produced
in this way can be used either for
immediate curative purposes or for
further production OF other cultures.
The production of curative and pro-
tective materials can be obtained ac-
cording to the present invention by
working on dead nonvirulent bacilli
in place of the living nonvirulent
bacilli.
The killing can be done by ham
mering, whereby the disadvantages Of
all other ways OF killing known SO far
are avoided.
Protective and curative materials or
serums can, according to this inven-
ton, also be produced by using in
stead of living nonvirulent cultures.
