...Theobald Smith is 72. With Dr. Welch, Dr. Flexner, Dr. Howard Atwood Kelly of Johns Hopkins and a very few more, he is one of those fortunates now alive who grew up with modern medicine. Amazing Louis Pasteur (1822-95) had scarcely proven that microbes cause disease, contentious Robert Koch (1843-1910) had scarcely demonstrated how to cultivate germs, when in 1884 Dr. Smith -who was then only 25, and the late Dr. Daniel Elmer Salmon (1850-1914) who was then 34-proposed creating immunity against disease with products of the bacteria which caused the disease. With this idea they...
Ambitious President Charles William Eliot (1834-1926) of Harvard took Dr. Smith from George Washington University. At Harvard, Professor Smith showed that the bacillus which causes human tuberculosis is not the same bacillus which causes bovine tuberculosis. Children were frequently infected by the bovine type, through milk. Pasteurization of milk, that is, heating it as Pasteur heated wine to prevent spoilage, blocked that contamination. At Harvard he, among many other things, discovered serum sickness, which Paul Ehrlich called the Theobald Smithsche Phenomenon...
...will be a war of gas. It will be waged on civilians as well as soldiers. The French, a practical people, realize this, yet they have done little to teach their civilians a defense against poison gas. This failure the French Congress of Hygiene, which met at the Paris Pasteur Institute last week, sought to remedy. Poland, Germany, Russia and Italy teach their people gas protection. The Congress advised the French Government to imitate and enlarge the methods...
...Scientists who heard Professor Kendall explain his work last week were prompt with applause. Dr. Irving Samuel Cutter, Dean of Northwestern's medical school (post which Professor Kendall held 1916-24) burst out with "This discovery is as startling to the scientific world as were the discoveries of Pasteur...
...subject, but to no avail. Days past and no one appeared to dissipate the abysmal ignorance of the Vagabond. At last, after weeks of anxious waiting, succor arrived. Today at ten o'clock he will go to Emerson H there to hear Professor Sarton lecture on Pasteur. The Vagabond doesn't know much about Pasteur, but he has a vague and tenuous idea that he was a doctor, or a scientist or a medical man of some ability. He also had something to do with pasteurized milk, which the Vagabond always believed in his youth meant milk obtained from cows...
