LONDON, January 10

This has led to a sugestion that cattle might he protected by a process of vaccination. Experiments now show that the action of formalin •Tonverts the virus into a safe effective vaccine. The only remaining obstacle to its employment on a large scale is that, hitherto, it has been impossible to cultivate the virus artificially and thus to obtain the large quantity needed.
