Heretofore the only effective preventive against tuberculosis has been a vaccine invented by a French bacteriologist, Albert Calmette and a French veterinarian, Charles Guerin, This BCG vaccine has never been quite safe because it is composed of living attenuated tubercle bacilli, which sometimes are potent enough to cause fulminating tuberculosis...
...order to be administered to school children next autumn. Children born in Cook County Hospital will also get the vaccine which is composed of weak but live descendants of tubercle bacilli. When the bacilli are carefully prepared according to the precise method of Leon Charles Albert Calmette and Charles Guerin, B. C. G. vaccine apparently does prevent tuberculosis.

Professor Leon Charles Albert Calmette, 67, with Veterinary C. Guerin developed the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin, commonly called BCG vaccine. It is prepared from living tuberculosis germs taken from diseased cows. These germs are cultured for many germ generations until they become non-virulent. The discoverers believe, and famed Dr. Park of Manhattan agrees with them, that they have proved that BCG vaccine, if fed to infants the first ten days of life, immunizes them against tuberculosis. Many bacteriologists denounce BCG. They say that its live germs cause rather than prevent tuberculosis (TIME...
