advantage was taken. Welch's bacillus was found
to be the predominant microbe Order Griseofulvin Online implicated. The
first work of Griseofulvin Online the French investigation began in May
and June, 1913, and was based on the following
jirinciple, i. e.. that the best criterion Grifulvin V Micr of a patho-
genic species is constituted by its ability to repro-
duce the malady experimentally. It was found
that Welch's bacillus coidd reproduce the local le-
sions of the gangrene, but it could not be made to
produce a potent toxin.
The investigators therefore thought that an ex-
amination should be made to determine whether
there were not in the gangrenous tissues other path-
ogenic germs which comply better with the experi-
mental criterion. In the majority of cases investiga-
tions in this direction gave an affirmative answer.
They found either the Vibrion septique or a new
l>acillus which was later to receive the name of
Bacillus bellonensis. In short, it was made clear
that gas gangrene was associated with three species
of organisms, Welch's bacillus, Vibrion septique and
Bacilkis bellonensis and the Inter-Allied Surgical
Conference, which met at Paris, came to the same
conclusion.
The results of the analysis of 121 cases under the
French investigators' personal supervision were :
Welch's bacillus, eighty-two per cent. ; tj'pical Vi-
brion septique, twenty-eight per cent. ; nontypical
Vibrion septique, eleven per cent. ; Bacillus bellon-
ensis, thirty-five per cent. The germs were often
associated in pairs. An analytical study of the Bacil-
lus Grifulvin V bellonensis showed that it is a highly pathogenic,
very toxic species, capable of reproducing perfect
gas gangrene experimentally. As for specific treat- Buy Grifulvin V
ment, a knowledge of the causative gerins, suggested
the application of a specific serotherapy either
against all three germs or against the germ involved
in each particular Buy Grifulvin Online case. The carrying out of this
conception resulted in the preparation of three
serums. The really great difficulty was to know
which serum was to be used in each case. In most
of the cases it was decided to inject all three simul-
taneously, although this was evidently only a make-
shift procedure. Even so this method has given de-
cided Purchase Griseofulvin results. However, in the last months of the
war a means of rapid pathogenic diagnosis Was dis-
covered, so that treatment can now be applied
promptly on the right lines. Buy Cheap Griseofulvin Of Buy Griseofulvin course, from the
preventive viewpoint this method of treatment is still
more powerful, as Sacquepee points out, as it reduces
the cases of gas gangrene to a small number of those
wounds which are most exposed to it. French in-
vestigators clearly defined the pathogeny of gas gan-
grene and have employed serotherapy, curative, re-
medial, and preventive, with the happiest results, a
really notable achievement.

BRETT YOUNG.
Dr. Francis Brett Young, the English poet and
ncivelist, admits that when his father sent him to
the University of Grifulvin V 500 Birmingham to study medicine
he rebelled, for he was already afflicted with that
seeminglv incurable disease, cacocthes scribcndi.
"But I know now," lie declares, "that Where To Buy Griseofulvin there is
nothing in the world that so fits a man of letters to
wrestle with the itiind of a man as an intimate ac-
quaintance with his body. Literally and figuratively
the doctor sees thousands of men and women naked ;
he sees the spring of curious motives, he shares
strange secrets. A man or a woman Order Griseofulvin will tell lies
or feign emotions to the pastor or the lawyer ; with
the physicians they know that only the truth Buy Griseofulvin Online will
help them. There is no education in humanity Purchase Griseofulvin Online that
compares with the doctor's life; and indeed, Griseofulvin Buy the
names of great literary artists confirm this."
Unless he has given it up quite recently. Dr.
Young is still practising medicine while at the same
time writing novels. He took his degree in 1906
and immediately set out to see the world as a ship's
surgeon, an Generic Griseofulvin easy berth which gave him plenty of
leisure to gather impressions and put them on paper.
In this capacity he saw the whole of the East, from
Egypt to Korea and Japan and and then settled
