The discovery of a curious btit highly dangerous bacillus, whos* de- velopment in gun:sbot wounds is said to be the principal cause of gas pan- gren*. is announced by Dr. Charle? Louis Laveran. the Paris scientist and physician. The results of re- searches conducted by Dr. Laveran, witb the .issistance of Dr. Weinberg and Dr. Seguin of the Institute Pas- teur, were first brought to the attin- tion of the Academy of Scientists and have since been described in Ue- tail in a Paris despatch to the Lan- cet of London. This particular death-dealing ba- rfllus, which is an anarobio microhe -^one which thrives in the dirt of wounds but succumbs to the ope:i air â€" had received from its discoverer the name of histolytic bacillus. It Is asserted that nine hours after a cul- ture of the organism is inoculated into the thigh of a guinea pig a pro- gressive local liquifaction is observ- ed. The muscles of the thigh, their she«ths and tissues and the skin it- self are digested and transformed into a blood-stained pulp and there remains no more of the damaged limb than the bare skeleton. The animal survives only twenty-four hours after mutilation begins. Dr. Laveran and his assistants ar« now engaged in preparing a serum with which to combat this microbe. The announcement at this particular time is of peculiar interest because vl the frightful number of fatalities caused by gas gangrene in the war. I'p to the present the microbe which had brought about the destruction of tissues had not been isolated, though It? association with sas formicj germs had been suspected. More than a year ago the Lancet asserted that, contrar>' to general opinion, this most modern of wars was proportionately mote costly in men than even the notorious Crim- ean campaign. 'When there is delnv in giving aid the danger of intention and the development of life-destroy ing microbes is of course tremend- ously increased. Dr. Laverna was among the first of the scientists to recognize the ne- cessity of new methods in combating the effects of trench fighting and of the greatly increased usie of shell fire, j He t)elieved changes in modern* war- Tho deceased had been despondent for!
