PROFESSOR METCENIKOFF. Australian-New Zealand Cable Association. • Paris, : July 16. Obituary: Professor Hie Jletchntkoff. [Professor Sletchnikoff, of tho Pasteur Institute, Paris, won the Nobel Prizo for Medicino in 1908. He is most famous J'or his studies in connection with tho prolongation of human life. Ho believed that sonile decay was hastened by the absorption of deleterious matter from tha. waste portions of food remaining in the intestines. As this is due to the presenca of bacteria which cannot bo excluded from tho body, ho proposed to counter , the bacteria' by tho use of tho bacillus ot . lactic acid, which havo an antidotal effect,/and are harmless themselves, llis theory lias found many followers, hut has not yet been proved sound. Metchnikoff did' not claim that it was proved, but indicated the theory as tho one which he himself had found most promising.]
