Notes and Events.
Ptofessor Robert Koch announces in his Medical Journal his discovery of two new preparations for tuberculosis, one of which he is of opinion is calculated to provide complete immunity from tuberculosis, bacilli. In the case of consumptive patients, daring the early stages of the diaeaße, and of lupus patients a distinct improvement has been effected by the new treatment. Professor Kooh reserves the use of the word " cure " until a longer period of time has passed without any relapse. With the present remedies the distressing concomitant symptoms common with previous preparations have in no case been observed. The injection of the tuberculin is made subcutaneoasly, beginning with one fivehundredth of a milligram, the dose being gradually increased at subsequent injections.
- Science lias not lost it? hold on the solid acquisition of the Rontgen Rays. Silk culturialists in Italy are now beginning to use the rays fcr detecting the iemale cocoons (whose
ova are made discernible), and hence of selecting in due proportion the male coooons, which produce a much greater quantity of silk* On the other hand where silk has been overweighted (or charged) in dyeing, the rays detect this also, and the extent of it.
