...Hans Zinsser, professor of bacteriology at the Harvard Medical School, announced recently before the Society of American Bacteriologists the results of his experiments in typhus fever immunization. This report, coming from one of the leading scientists of the country indicates that the disease is now under control and is regarded as one of the most important contributions to medicine during the past year...
...Zinsser stated in a paper read before about 200 members of the society in the sectional session of medical bacteriology, immunology, and comparative pathology that he had succeeded in isolating the "Rickettsia bodies of Mooser." the germ that takes millions of lives through the disease, typhus fever. He described experiments in which he had grown large numbers of the germ in pure culture, thereby producing a vaccine which has successfully immunized animals from the fever...
...experimentations necessary to In his final analysis, Zinsser reported a series of experiments which, "while not 100 per cent successful demonstrate unambiguously that active immunization with formol killed Rikettsia (dead virus) will sometimes immunize completely, and when it does not do this will modify the disease in the direction of greater mildness...
Under the supervision of Dr. Stanley Cobb, Dr. F. Fremont Smith and Dr. Hans Zinsser of Harvard's Department of Neuropathology, Dr. Morrison killed five dogs suffering from running fits, made histological brain examination. He found the nuclei of the brain cells broken into bits, with chromatin scattered throughout the cell body. He discovered also great clusters of spider and mossy cells of the neuroglia around the small blood vessels in the white matter of the brain. In normal tissue, these supporting cells should be distributed in rows throughout the white matter. Cell peculiarities of the type found...
...meeting in New York, there will be speeches by many nationally known men. Among these will be Professor Rans Zinsser, of the Harvard Medical School, where he has been professor of Bacteriology and Immunology since 1923. Although Mr. Pennypacker does not annually take a long trip, he often is able to link up various invitations to speak at schools in the East so that he can complete the whole on one circuit instead of making numerous short ones. Later on this year he will visit several local schools, including short trips to Andover and Exeter, and a longer...
