immunization against tuberculo
sis living cultures ar*» necessary.
For the truth ot American phy
sicians it la well to point out
some of the things which were
done years ago.
In 1892 and 1893 Trudeau of
Sarana* Lake demonstrated the
fact that .subcutaneous inocula
tion of living culture of the avian
tubercle bacillus greatly increas
ed thtf resistance of rabbits
against infection by virulent
mammalian cultures.
He immunized rabbits to such
a degree that when they were in
oculated with virulent cultures
the Inflammatory reaction grad
ually d isappeared, leaving the eye
in the normal condition, while in
control animals the destruction
of the eye was complete. As far
as we have been able to discover,
Trudeau was the first to an
nounce the principal that living
'•ultures must be used in order
to produce an efficient immunity
sgainst tuberculosis.
Animals Immunized.
Do Schwelnits, in 1894. Immun
ized animals with human tuber
cle bacilli, which had been culti
vated for twenty generations on
slightly acid broth At the end of
this time the cultures were not
virulent for guinea pigs, but were
aprtble of immunizing these an-
mals to such an extent, that thej
resisted infection with the bovine
germ. Control animal died in
seven weeks.
Pearson and Gilliland demon
strated that human bacilli which
were not virulent for cattle Would
produce a high degree of immuni
ty when injected in the circula
tion. In 1905 the same authors
demonstrated a strong curative
action on tuberculosis from injec
tion of non-virulent tubercle bac
illi derived from human beings.
Webb and Williams demon
strated that immunity against
tuberculosis could be produced b>
the inoculation of living tuber
cle bacilli, beginning with small
doses and gradually incrasing.
If we go to foreign publications
it is easy to multiply instances of
the use of living cultures. In 1907
McFadyean not only demonstrat
ed his ability to produce immuni
ty in cattle by the use of living
cultures, but also in one case
treated an animal which was al
ready tuberculous. The animals
resisted for a long time injections
of tubercle bacilli of proved viru
lence for cattle.
in 1901. Von Behring announc
ed his method of bovo-vaccina
tion, the first detailed publication
of which appeared in 1902. Liv
ing cultures were used.
Intravenous Injection
An 1903, Thonmssen, reported
experiments in which. b\ the in
travenous'injection of human tu
bercle bacilli into young cattle,
he produced a considerable degree
of immunity.
Vale reported experiments in
which young animals were ren
dered highly immune against vir
ulent bovine Infection by the use
of non-virulent living cultures
derived in the lirst instance from
a horse.
Instances could b< multiplied,
but these are enough to demon
strate that Friedmann has not
discovered or announced any new
principle in regard to the Immu
nization against tuberculosis. As
far as our knowledge goes he has
followed methods w hirl were lirst
demonstrated in this country,
and have been confirmed by
many workers in America and
Rurope.
The psychology of the excite
ment of the public over Fried
mann is hard t< understand ex
cept >n the basis of clever press
agent work. Practically every
fact that he has brought forward
has been known for years.
Why the bacillus from the tur
tie should possess special cura
tive value for the human being is
a mystery, although of course it
< an not be denied that it is within
the range of possibility that such
n thing may* be true.
The point of scientific interest
that should be made clear, how
ever, s that he has discovered no
new principle, at least as far as
the published communications go.
The principle of using slightly
virulent cultures derived from
another species was demonstrat
ed by Trudeau in 1891 and 1892.
The principle of intravenous in
jection for the best production of
immunity against tuberculosis
was demonstrated by PeaVson ami
Gilliland and others in 1912. It
seems, then. that, if In has dis
covered anything at all. it ts on-
Jy a culture which jMissessetf un

among these.
In fact she stands at the head of the
line worthy of all the praise that
•
cgn be given her. Other countries
have tried in vain to locate the tur
key as a native of their land, hut
there is no question in the minds
of the students of nature that
America is the turkey's placo
of nativity. While it is raised
in various countries of the
world there is no doubt that
there are more turkeys (and better
ones) raised in America than in
the balance of the world combined.
In America the turkey in its wild
state was generally pretty well dis
tributed from Canada to Mexico, and
from Maine to California.
It differed quite a little in various
parts of the country. Through the
central states it seemed to attain to
the greatest size and in color a red
dish bronze.
The Mexican wild turkey ran to
gorgeous colors with the peacock,
blue eye spots over the back and tall.
It was often confounded with
the peacock, but there was no rea
son for it, as It was an entirely dif
ferent fowl.
Hondurous Variety.
The Hondurous turkey' was of th.s
specie. According to Dr. Baird the
chief difference between the turkeys
of Mexico and the south and those
of the Northern Enited States Is that
those of the South have a band of
creamy white or 9ilver pray across
the feathers of the lower port of the
body and tall, while In the northern
variety it is chestnut or a chestnut
brown.
The turkey is semi-migratory in
its habits. In fact the pleantlfulness
or scarcity of food determines thv
matter almost entirely. If the food
supply runs short in the section
where they are hatched or located
they will then begin to extend their
range of foraging from day to day,
and if the supply of food increases as
they advance they will soon cease
to go far back to their old haunts
to roost but take up new quarters.
Their rood consists of corn, wheat,
berries, fruits, grass. grass seed,
acorns, beech nuts etc. During these
migratory trips they often encounter
large streams nr rivers, and a pecu
liar thing about them at this point
is that they will gather upon the
banks and remain for a number of
days In a very restless state, the
males gobbling almost continuously
while the females feed here and
there, but only a short distance from
the river at any time. They usually
choose the early morning for the trip
over the river While yet in the tops
of the highest trees on the river
bank at a given signal from one of
the male leaders they will launch
forth with a whirr of wings and
soon all are safely on the farther
side. The vantage point from which
they drop at the tart greatly aids
them in their flight for the other
shore.
Although the wild turkey is get -
tin* very scarce in its wild sta;.,

of the buffalo, for many lovers of

Weight About 20 Pounds.
The usual weights of these wild
turkeys are from 15 to 20 pounds for
males and 10 to 12 for feme Is.
Males have been known to weigh is
high as 35 pounds, but these are rare
instances, and are usually males five

The process of making a hog hy

is carried on at veterinary labora

work. A pig is shot full of hog
cholera germs with a syringe needle.

Food Value Not Hurt.
Serum producing hogs are bled
from the tail at intervals of one
week. After the fourth bleeding in
this way. the hog is again given a
heavy dose of virus or cholera germs,
and is again bled at intervals of a
week. The final bleeding is from the
neck of the hog when it is slaugh
tered. After slaughter the meat is
sold on the market for food. It is a
healthy hog. of course, because it has
resisted the disease.
The blood or serum which has been
obtained from the hyper-immune hog
serves to protect a large niimber of
hogs from the disease -after it has
been injected in proper doses.
Some Pigs Martyrs.
'Y FTER the serum has been drawn
of the acute stages of the disease. It
has served great usefulness by being
sacrificed that other hogs may be
saved.
The meat of the virus pig is not
fit for use because it is afflicted with
cholera. As soon as it is slaughtered
the carcass is burned or huried, just
as the carcasses of all hogs dying
of cholera should be burned or buried.
It is the only way to put out of the
way the source of infection which
this carcass will certainly prove if
left for scavengers.
Farmer Must Inoculate.
7 HIDE it is better to have a
trained veterinarian to inoc
ulate with the serum, for the
most part it will be necessary for the
farmer himself to do it through the
South where veterinarians cannot be
readily obtained.
The process of inoculation is sim
ple enough. Any farmer can do it.
The chief thing to learn is to use
sanitary measures, by sterilizing the
instruments and keeping everything
uncontaminated and clean in per
forming the operation. The average-
farmer has more to learn about how
to do this thi^ft anything else about
the operation, not that, the farmer is
naturally careless in tills respect—-
more than others not trained in sur
gery. But even sanitary precautions
are not difficult if the farmer will
foljow plain instructions. Most of the
injection of hog cholera serum in the
South has been done by farmers, and
the fact that remorkablv fine results
have been obtained shows the farmer
can do it successfully.
The plan most i# force in the South
is to send out a syringe with the
serum and plain printed instructions.
The syringe is returned to be used
by some other farmer. These syr
inges are to be obtained in most of
tin* Southern States from the State
Veterinarian or from the State Col
lege of Agriculture.

hogs with preventive serum are
used in this country and both

Through the medium of stock cars
the disease can be carried a long
distance, and hogs that have been in

four weeks.
The open range is, of course, an
easy way of carrying the infection.
Farmers should keep hogs from run
ning at large. The improper dispos
al of the carcasses of hogs dead of
cholera is a prolific source of conta
gion. The buzzard ranging from a
carcass over wide areas can spread
the disease. Stray dogs that visit
carcasses likewise carry away the
disease as do crows, hogs, chick

infection can easily lx* eliminated by

Is given a dose of virus or hog chol
era germs of the same kind used in
lived, whereas as many as two injec
tions may be required in the course
of the ordinary hog’s life with the
serum alone treatment.
The tendency is toward the serum
alone treatment. It is simpler; there
is less danger of scattering hog chol
era germs where they do not exist
and if for any reason the serum
should not be strongly resistive would
result in the loss of many hogs by
cholera which otherwise might not
have contracted the disease.
The “serum alone” method is the
one most in practice in the South.
This means 30.000 pounds for the
market. Thus the returns are quick
on the investment and they are large
at present prices of pork. The de
mand exists at present which results
in obtaining from $6 to $8 per hun
dred live weight and the demand can
not he supplied at this price. With
proper use of pasturage hogs can be
prepared for market at a cost of from
$4 to $5 a hundred weight.
The fact is hogs sell at more per
pound than any other class of live
stock raised in the South to-day. The
possibilities are great.

be viewed with natural skepti

of course, will only be too glad to
forget the unfortunate features in

The first publications by Fried

four m numbr'i. th* earliest en
titled "Spontaneous Pulmonary

shortly after, under much the
same title (Spontane Lungentu-

Here the findings are more fully-
described and the necropsy report
of a second turtle with similar
lesions is given. In addition there
is a careful history of the study
of tubercle bacilli in cold-blooded
animals with a long list of refer
ences.
Th* third article (Der Sohild-
krotentubcrkelbazillus, seine
Zuchtung. Biologic, und Patho-
genitat. -Cenarabl. f Bkt. 1903.
XXXIV.) concerns Friedmann’s
studies of the organism obtained
from the turtle, and deals with
the cultural characteristics and
pathogenicity of th** strain. Cul
tivation was readily performed
and the optimal temperature was
found to be 3T degrees F (9S.ii
degrees F).

Tlu.authors had Investigated
FriedtAann's culture and had con
cluded: •
1. That it was not absolutely
harmless to warm-blooded ani
mals.
2. That intravenous injections
of Friedmann’s culture in warm
blooded animals did not prevent
a later infection with tuberculo
sis; and
3. That tuberculous immune
bodies were not produced by its
injection.
Friedmann accuses these au
thors of unfairness since they
were familiar with his work, and
saw his manuscripts, but with
held comment until after publica
tion. He denies all their con
clusions* and reiterates his own
results.
From 1905. for seven years,
Friedmann’s name does not ap
pear in the Index Medicus. and no
reference to any publication by'
him is found until after 1912,
when his well-known articles ap
peared in the Berlinen KMnische
