SCOTCH SCIENTIST EXPLAINS HIS RECENT EXPERIMENTS, Rettresentative Men State That the Data tireSented Are Not Conclusive Evi- dence Thist Paralysis is Caused by a Microbe in the Blood. New York, :Tan, 28. -The Sun has the following cable from London; The lec- ture of lir. W; F. tobeetson before Me Edinburgh College of Physicians last Wednesday, in which he declared. that 0 mierobe causes paralysis, has aroused considerable interest, esperially in view of the faet that nearly 2,000 persons die annually of general paralysisin esylume ih 'England and Scotland, the • dikes() having increased to an alarun ing extent in recent years. In a second lecture Dr. Robertson dealt specifically with the result of an experimental inquiry Made by himself anti Dr. McRae into the action of lie• ing blood upon cultures of the diph- theroid baciIli which had been isolated from eases of general paralysis. lie describecl the morphological nod biolog- hal characters of the organisms, and eaidthat he had found that the powers of the white blood corpuscles of a gen- eral paralytic to diesolvethese bacilli seemed to be distinctly increased. lt ha11 been found that similar processes occurred ht tissues and blood fluid in eases Of general paralysis. The Garold bacilli in varime stages of dis- t:WI:ion eould demontrate in the blood , and cerebro-spiuni fluid of a living pa- tient. They could also be observed in great numbers in 0 brain poet -mor- tem. They Were being absorbed from ; infeetive foci itt the respiratory or ali- mentary tracts. The facts- ascertained im the course of _ t he experimental inquiry have taught them how the bacillus could be grown from tho blood and cerebro -spinal fluid of a living patient. They have suc- ceeded in obtaining pure cultures from the blood in four eases and from core- I bro-spinal fluid in two. Then were, however, still many difficulties in the ; way of obtaining These growths, betause most bacilli aie killed by the action of the blood. Inquiry in representative medical cir- elee does not reveal a disposition on the l part of leading members of the profes- sion to pin their faith to Dr. Robert- son's views. Tliciy argue that only a casual relationship may exist between I the presence of the bacillus, and the itis - ease of which it is suspected to be the NUM. In the present. Inatome° the dis- covery of the diptheroid bacillus la nine out of twenty eases of general par- alysis time not necesarily support the theory that the presence of that micro- organism was actually the cause of the malady.
