CAMBRIDGE. MASS. Jan. An
other important discovery has been
made by an officer OF the Harvard
Medical school. DIR. Frank Mallory,
associate professor of pathology. work
ing in the pathological laboratory of
the Boston City hospital, has infinitely
proved that the symptoms of whoop-
ing cough are caused by the bacillus
pertussis DIR. Mallory has described
the lesions which are characteristic
OF the disease and the way in which
they are produced.
Whooping cough has been ascribed
TO various micro organisms. but only
one has received serious condition the
bacillu pertussis. which WAS seen and
described by two French hacterioio-
gists at the Pasteur institute in Paris
in 1902, II was found that this micro
organism was constantly present In
all cases In the acute stage of whoop-
ing cough, but never In health or as
ISOLATED with any other diseases. A
Russian Investigator later confirmed
these findings.
Professor Mallory has demonstrated
not only that the bacillus 10 found in
connection with the disease. but that

CHICAGO. Jan. 1.-The National

This action follows the physical
dissolution Of the company, which
was compelled by the department of
Justice last July on threats OF civil
prosecution, following an Intellectual
effort to sustain criminal charges
against the company's officers. At
that time the plants and other prop
