Doctor Greeley Claims to Have
Isolated Microbe.
Believes They Multiply In Mucous
membrane Of Nose At Beginning Of
Disease and Thsnce Penetrate
Blood Vessels.

DR.. Horace Greeley Of Brooklyn re
ports to the Medical Record that hs
has discovered the long-sought mi
crobe Of smallpox. He found IAN ap
parently identical organism" from the
"vesicles OF twenty-five cases OF sue
cessful vaccination, from like mum
Der Of cases Of undoubted chickenpox
and from i've cases OF recognized and
undoubted smallpox"
From Doctor Greeley's technical de-
scription OF this new microbe It may
be gathered that 1t is spherical and
from 0.3 to 0.6 microns (of 0000117 to
o.o002S4 inch) In diameter. 1t Is In
the form of multiplying spores,
which just before division assume the
shape OF figure 8, with a nucleus in
each half. These develop into branch
ing masses with spores at the end OF
the branches.
Doctor Greeley has grown them in
cultures. He believes they multiply
on the mucous membranes OF the nose
at the beginning Of the disease, and
the spores when shed penetrate the
blood vessels and are waited to all
parts of the body. landing in the skin
capillaries, where conditions OF lower
temperature and more light, perhaps,
favor further proliferation. In this
connection We should remember how
the eruption favors the face and
hands"
Doctor Greeley concludes that vac.
cinia and variola are Identical, the diff.
ference being that vaccination pro
duces a local and at most a lymphat-
lc infection, usually stopped at the
nearest chain Of glands. and repre-
sents the incubation OF an organism
directly derived from q different spe-
'ies Of animal, and therefore probably
II low relative virulence, while small
'ox is undoubtedly contracted
through the respiratory tract and is
iue to one derived directly from an
lnimal OF like species which. as
hown, through spors formation,
'asses into the blood and is thrown to
