Naturally there is much Inflammation and
congestion at the point of the intestines
where a number are attached and the ali
mentary canal is more or less closed up.
The blood is poisoned and the system
swarms with the parasites.
The disease that deVelOpes depends on
the particular kind of worm that is most
abundant. 1t may do most Of the harm in
the intestine and cause Summer complaint
of appendicitis or dyspepsia, or it may
penetrate the intestinal wall and travel
elsewhere, as we have seen in the case
of the pneumonia parasite.
sample worm, which has been studied
extensively by the California investigators,
is the "gidrdia microti," which measures
from II to IA miCromillimeters in length,
which is roughly around 1850 of an inch.
This minute worm has 4 nervous (neurO-
rotor apparatus for regulating its move
ments. 1t has eight feelers to assist in
moving about. All Of these feelers vibrate
with the same rapidity when the worm lies
on its back AS the speed of vibration in
creases the speed Of lOcomOtion increases.
Tie worm travels just about fast enough
to swim against the currents in the all
mentary canal. which would carry 1t out OF
the human body. The direction OF the lit
tie worm is governed by the minute, hair
like tail. attached to the body in ball and
socket fashion, which it can bend up or
down or from side to side.
1t has a rod called an "axostyle," cores
ponding to our backbone. Strangely
enough, the tiny worm does not have to
encyst in a hard shell before dividing in
two, but may do so or not according to
circumstances. The worm splits up and
down and becomes two perfect individuals.

has now been found to be the cause OF
decay of the teeth.
DR.. A. Porter, OF the British Army, first
found that a worm called 'giardia intes-

examining sick soldiers at Gallipoli, where
the disease caused terrible mortality. He

Recently the scientists of the University
Of California hive been making a remark
able study Of the worms that cause intes-
final and other diseases. Drs. w. c. Boeck,
c. A. Kofoid and f. B. Christensen, of
this institution, give a most interesting
account of the nature and habits Of these
deadly creatures. Some of them are round
worms and others fiat worms. Some Of
them are described as "prOtozoans," and
others as "metazoans"

say, hard shell forms around the minute

Several of these cysts are likely to be
drawn together, attaching themselves to
one which has attached itself to some like
ly spot in the human intestines.
The digestive ferments of the human
stomach and intestines in due time digest
of the case of the worm and releases it.
It grows larger, divides and becomes two
worms. Sometimes it only divides in two,
but when it is very vigorous it divides
into many worms. Then they encyst

proved that while both kinds are caused
by animals. the "entamoeba" has nothing
to do with it, but is the cause of decay OF
the teeth. Doctors Allen ]. Smith, M. 7.
Barrett and B. H. Lucke, Of the School OF
Medicine of the University Of Pennsyl-
yania, announce in the Journal of Parast
tology:
'In our experiments, pyorrhea material
bearing active, vegetatiVe entamoeDae,
was given to two kittens by injection into
the colon. In all cases we failed to find
amoebae in the objections and to note any
evidence Of dysenteric symptoms"
DIR. Nadine Nowlin, Of the University OF
Kansas. backs the above statement up in
the same journal by independent expert
ments, and says:
"An infected tooth was extracted. on
which entamoebae had fourished for four
weeks and then disappeared. Where were
they? The tooth showed an ulcer at the
root and many LESSONS were seen on the
periosteum. in which were leucocytes and
amoebae. The latter were extremely nu-
merous all in partial or complete encyst-
ment. proving that the entamoebae may
withdraw from the tooth when destroyed
and encyst on the gums (for their de-
struction).
Many puzzling questions may be asked
about the meaning of these discoveries
and some cannot yet be answered. It may
be asked why some Of the old bacteria
when injected into animals cause specific
diseases, and why antitoXins prepared
from them cure those diseases. Why does
diphtheria antitoxin cure diphtheria and
why does the antityphoid vaccine used in
the army prevent typhoid?

Discovery Has Been Made About

By DR.. w. H. BaIlou.

cases from spores, which we're very much
like seeds.
Medical science found the various kinds
of bacteria swarming in the different germ
diseases and had no doubt that they were
the cause Of the trouble. The doctor,
laboring in the pathological laboratory,
could see the bacteria swarming under his
microscope Some of them were rod
shaped others we're dot-shaped, and some
even were comma-shaped. Some had long
hairs to move and swim with, and others
had none and stayed still.
Now, science has shown that that view
of the cause of disease is almost entirely
wrong. It has shown that the real cause
in most of the diseases studied was
minute animal parasite a kind Of worm.
The parasites escaped notice for years, in
many instances on account Of the deficient
power of microscopes; but recently, under
the tremendously high power ultra-micro
scope, they have come into view.
The old microbes were present in the
disease, of course but It has been found
that they were comparatively harmless,
perhaps beneficial, because they ate up
dead organic waste matter in the system.
They served also as food for the disease
causing worms, but it is not believed that
they are necessary for the life of these
pests. II had long been known that certain
kinds Of microbes were useful in cleaning
up decaying matter in the outside world,
but it is now proved that they perform the
same duty within the human body.

One Of the many start
ling discoveries made by
the scientists Il that all
germs having feelers, or
''flagella," as they are
called in bacteriology, are
really animals and not BAG
terra. In the old science
Of bacteriology the bac-
terra were divided into
motionless types, usually
shaped like dots and rods,
and the motile kind, hav-
ing feelers and the power
of locomotion.
This particular discov-
cry appears to have a
very important bearing
on typhoid fever. In a
culture of germs Of this
disease you can see
a number Of motiIe or
ganisms with long feelers
and q number of motion
less ones. Bacteriology
always taught that the or
ganisms with feelers were
the bacteria of typhoid.
Now It appears clear in
the light of the latest dis
coveries that the creatures
with the feelers are ami
NAL parasites, while the
rods are true bacteria on
which the others feed.
The old science of bac-
teriology said there were
two kinds OF dysentery-
one caused by a bacterium,
the other caused by an
animal parasite called the

portant these new discoveries
are for us when we learn how
they affect pneumonia, that most
deadly, cruel and very commons
disease, for which no reliable
cure or treatment has ever been
found. Science now declares
that the old. well-known mi
crobe, the "pneumococcus," is
not the real cause of pneu-
monia, but that a newly discov-
cred worm is the cause, and that
we eat this cause of disease
with our food instead of breath
ing it in, the common method Of
taking in the pneumococcus.

D. Foster, of the United States
Health Department, Washing.
ton, two Of the many scientists
who have been studying the new
causes Of disease, publish this
most astonishing and interest
ing and interesting statement
concerning the cause Of pneu-
monia:
"The round worm, .ascaris lum-
bricoides, is the most common
and the most important intesti-
nal parasite Of man. It breeds
in the colon, the eggs hatch in
the alimeltary canal, the young
pierce the intestinal wall and,
aided by the circulation, migrate
TO the liver, spleen and lungs.
They cause pneumonia, lung
troubles, ETC., in human beings,
lower animals and particularly
children"
This worm, which is the real
cause Of pneumonia, is a strange
looking creature under the mi.
croscope, with two spots, sur
prisinEly like eyes, a mouth And
other orifiees, a rod that Is called
a backbone for want Of a better
understanding of its nature.
II is alarming to think that we
are swallowing this creature in
countless quantities with our
food or water instead of breath
ing it. 1t buries itself in our in
testinal walls and only breaks
loose when the defensive forces
Of the body become too weak to
fight against it. Then It digs it's
way through the wall and after
passing through the circulation
reaches the lungs, which are its
predestined home.
The fact that this worm and
not the pneumococcus is the
real cause Of pneumonia fully
explains why the countless
serums and vaccines, prepared
from the old pneumococcus mi
crobe by the Rockefeller Insti-
tute and other institutions have
entirely failed to cure the dis
ease.
The facts are found to be SINH
lar with regard to many other
diseases that is to say, that they
are caused by microscopic
worms which we swallow, and
not by the old microbes.
For instance, it has been
found that dysentery, Summer
complaint (Which is the greatest
cause of mortality among our
babies) and other intestinal
troubles are due TO a type Of
worn called "giardia," and not
to various microbes of the bac-
terial type. The old bacteriolo.
gists did indeed credit one form
Of dysenteTy to an animal form,
