Anderson of Yale: "This discovery that a nonliving substance may be the cause ot tubercular growth, opens up an entirely new mode of approach in the search for an immunizing agent. In the past there has been no way of proving whether the growth of the tubercle in tubercular organisms was the result of direct action of the living bacillus...
