TUBERCULOSIS WAR
RESULTS ARE Barred
Sciences Joint Fight May
RevoIutionize Methods of
Attacking Germs.
EMILE RERLINER.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Some of the accomplishments Of the
first great mobilization of science
in a fight against tuberculosis under
the National tuberculosis Association
are revealed here by DR.. Kendall Emer-
son, managing director of the associa-
ton. These results, he says, may have
revolutionary effect upon the methods
of attacking disease germs.
Seventeen American institutions have
pooled their research brains and facili-
ties in national drive to eradicate
tuberculosis. Through development of a
synthetic fluid In which microbes
flourish, technique has been evolved
for discovering by chemical analysis all
the substance OF which the germs are
made-their proteins, fats and sugars
and how these are built.
!. ~ = Aim Is to Isolate Poison.
y The aim Is to isolate the specific poi
son and then to find an antidote.
Whatever is accomplished is expected to
throw new light on the other germ dis
eases that are still uncontrolled.
This pooled research is sponsored by
the National tuberculosis Association
through a special committee on re-
search. Institutions participating are
the Universities of Pennsylvania, Yale,
Chicago, Vanderbilt Cornell, Wiscon-
sin, Nebraska, Johns Hopkins, California
and Cincinnati, Parke Davis & Co., H.
X. milford & Co., Rockefeller 1nsti-
tute, Henry Phipps Institute OF Phila-
delphia, United States Hygienic Labora-
tory Of Washington. William H. May
bury Sanitarium of Detroit and the
Gaylord Farm Sanitarium of Walling-
ford, Conn.
Hay Bacillus Is Important.
harmless bacillus which lives on
timothy hay and is named the timothy
bacillus has become an important factor
in this fight. The timothy organism
has been adopted by the scientists as
the laboratory control" A control in
laboratory parlance is subject so SIM
liar to the one under test that it may
be used for comparison with the human
tubercule bacillus. The timothy germ
will produce disease in no known ami
NAL. Its value is the guidance it may
afford in the search for the all-im
portant factor that is lacking in it but
present in the diSease-producing germ.
Other germs, all harmful, belonging
to the same family as the timothy bacil-
lus are those that cause leprosy and
the bone and bird tuberculosis. The
work on the timothy bacillus was de-
Veloped in the Parke Davis laboratories
Another accomplishment is the crys-
talli2ing Of the protein fraction of the
tuberculosis bacillus by DR.. Florence B.
Seibert Of Sprague Institute, University
of Chicago. This has led to purffica-
ton of the clinical work known as the
tuberculin reaction, or skin test.
Jointly the Sterling Chemistry Lab
oratory of Yale and the Rockefeller In
stitute have isolated and experimental
on the effects of new fatty acid that
causes symptoms of tuberculosis with
out producing the disease.
