Some ten years ago a Russian biologist, Kadroski, announced such an artificial culture. Just before his death Dr. Moses Clegg of the Philippine Bureau of Science at Manila, announced a culture. Last year Dr. Ernest L. Walker of the Hooper Foundation for Medical Research, San Francisco, announced another...
Last week Bacteriologist Hermann Dostal of Vienna announced that he had isolated the leprosy bacillus, developed a serum. One problem which has always confronted scientists attempting to isolate the bacillus has been a means of keeping it alive once it was removed from the human body. Dr. Dostal's success lay in developing a culture medium. Another difficulty: animals not being susceptible to leprosy, it is necessary to experiment with humans...

This spring and summer many a horse will feel the sharp thrust of a hypodermic needle; will be injected with meningitis bacilli. Thus horses will help in the development of a serum to fight a new strain of cerebrospinal meningitis which, originating among Chinese workers in California last year, is moving eastward across the country...
