The basis of his treatment is d-scribed as a more effective system of inocula- tion than has hitherto been kaown. In explaining his discovery to the Institute of Patholoey and Research cf St Mary’s Hospital, Prof. Dreyer deciarcd that re- markable cures had been effected wi h the new vaccine on guinea pigs an * other animals and that great improvement had beer made in the cases of persons siifer- ing from tuberculosis, bloodp isoning, anthrax and venereal diseases. He point- ed out that in the inoculation of human teings dead bacieria were used. lao order to be suceessful, the miciobes must be digested and destroyed by the tissues of the patient, buat a coating of fat wkich covered some microbes pre- vented the juices of the bodv from get- ting at them. He exp'ained that his new system was to des:roy the fat sur- rounding these germs, thus making them more easily destroyed by vaccioe injec- tions. London physicians who have used the new treatment declare the benefit derived by tuberculosis inoculations is much gregter than from the other forms of +~* ¢« Gntin use, They report com- plete- cures in some advanced .cases of tul e ‘culosis affecting various parts of the body.
