I.P'JB UNITED PBEBB ASSOCIATION, j London, January 21. Professor Stuart asked Dr Koch if. he would undertake experiments with a view of discovering an infectious' disease which would destroy rabbits. Dr Koch refused, and also declined an Australian delegate to work under his direction. He stated that he was aware that such diseases bad occurred, and advised the Australian colonies to appoint two bacteriologists to study diseases which might be available for the purpose, one working in Europe aud one in Australia. He was of opinion that the discovery, of a suitable disease was feasible. Professor Stuart has been promised a continuous supply of lymph. A London chemist alleges that Dr Koch's discovery, is aa old homoepathic remedy which he has dispensed for yeara. Post mortem' examination of patients who have died under treat' ment have advanced the belief in theefficucy of Dr Koch*s discovery, by showing that the disease had nearly been cured when death occurred. The doctor still retains part of his secret with respect to the composition of the lymph.
