ANTISEPTICS
Sometimes Prove TO Be Health
Food for Microbes, Says
Sir AImrotn Wright.

CCorreSpondencc Of Associated P-c-xD
LONDON. May Care must be
taken in the use of antiseptics, lest
they prove 10 be health food for mi
crobes. In any case, antiseptics can
not produce an absolutely sterile
wound.
These statements were made before
the Royal Society OF Medicine By Sir
AImroth Wright in an address on the
septic infection OF wounds. He did
not deny the great value of antisep-
tics. pointing TO the good results OF
inoculation against typhoid and lock
jaw, but he claimed that incubation
was rather preventive than a cure.
Some day he thought that sort of
treatment would be applied in the
case of wounds.
The ordinary man, said Sir Aim
roth. thinks when he uses antiseptics
he is killing microbes. Yet expert
ments have been made showing the
addition of antiseptics TO bacterial
cultures in certain proportions causes
bacteria 10 multiply Thus the deter
mination of the strength of the anti
sepics is an important matter.
