LATE DE, CALMETTE
WORK FOR HUMANITY
PAftlS, October 29.
The death of Dr. Leon Charles Albert Calmettc, sub-director' of the Pasteur Institute at Paris since 1917, announced yesterday, followed an operation for an internal complaint. His serum, known as BCG, is claimed to immunise newly-born infants from tuberculosis. Millions of babies in Europe have thus far been treated. German experts declare that the tragedy at Lubeek in August, 1932, in which many German children lost their lives, was not: Dr. Calmette's fault,- as the serum cultures had been mixed.
Dr. Calmettc was born in the same year and died on the same day as M. Painlevo. Both had been professors at Lille University. \»
