THE THEORY OF FERMENTS EXPLAINED Possibilities Suggested for Future Scientific Experiment. a’ WINE FROM BEER noe The Chemical Socicty of Washington met last night at Builders’ Exchange to receive the presidential address of Dr. E. A. de Schweinitz. He selected as his topic “The War With the Microbes,” and the large audience present listened with inter- est to the address. Dr. de Schweinitz opened with a brief history of the discoveries which lead up to the germ theory of disease. Continulng, he said: “The work of Pasteur threw light uvon the origin of these poisons. As the fer- ment causes the alteration in the grape juice, so does a microscopic form of life bring about the changes which take place in dead animal and vegetable matter, and also these corditicns in the living body which we call disease. “Many of these microscopic forms of sin- gle-celled plants, the bacteria, have their natural habitat upon dead organic matter, but they may flourish in the living body, and are almost unlimited in variety, ap- pearance and behavior. It is possible also to cultivate them pon specially prepared solutions after their individual peculiari- ties have been studied. “Some thrive best in light, others in darkness, some like a good- ly supply of oxygen, others prefer nitro- gen, some are very sensitive to changes of temperature, while others readily accustom themselves to vicissitudes. Habits of Microbes, “These different bacteria, further, are somewhat eccentric within as well as with- out the animal body. Some, as the dipn- theria germs, find their most comfortable habitat upon certain mucous membranes, others in the lungs, some in the digestive tract, still others in the blood, while oth- ers again confine themselves to certain ex- ternal cells and membranes. In their arti- ficial cultivation this is equally true. While nearly all thrive upon a beef broth, some prefer the beef broth with an excess of acid, others with an excess of alkali. Some demand the addition of sugar or glycer- ine, others the addition of sugar together with acid, while some are satisfied with a diet of phosphates, salt and water. ‘It remained for Salmon and his assist- ants, in this city, to demonstrate, in IS2, that the poisons of germs could be used by men and animals to fortify themselves against the attacks of these same ba teria. This could be accomplished by in- troducing into the circulation of the ani- Iaal a small quantity of the poison of the germ, so that when the germ itself was injected the poison which it produced was without effect. What had been found true for one disease of animals proved also to be true for many others, and chemical vac- cination was tried for diphtheria, tetanus, anthrax, cholera, typhoid fever, tubercu- losis, glanders and a number of other d! eases. But this discovery led to another important and far-reaching. Fodor showed that the blood serum of animals made im- mune to a particular disease by injecting the animal with the poison which the germ formed had the effect of destroying the germ of the disease. This excited renewed interest in the study of the blood,and with- in a few years it was demonstrated by the work of many, some in this city in the laboratories before mentioned, that this serum from previously immunized animais, not only had the pronerty of conferring immunity upon other animals, but also of checking the disease after it had once be- gun. How thoroughly this fact was dem- onstrated first by Behring and subseqaent- ly by Roux and others in connection with diphtheria and tetanus has been dwelt upon cften, and we know of the many thousands of lives that have been saved by the aati-toxine serums. How Serum ix Secured. “To prepare these the solution of the toxins which we have before described are injected into different animals, pref- erably horses, and at the end of six to twelve wee the blood of these anima!s is found to yield a serum containing sub- stances possessing both immunizing and curative proverti ch we call anti- ioxirs. The ac ciple of this serum present is comparatively small in quan- tity, but its influence is enormous. It does not appear to be a substance which di- rectly chemically neutralizes the poison, but counteracis its ¢ mal i “But within the ani- some unknown way. ome of our friends may ask, were edge, though of inestimable value to man- kind, been too dearly bought? Y per- haps, a score or two of guinea pigs and sweet, lovely rats and mice have sacrificed their lives for humanity's sake. Kut tnis know‘edge could not have been gained in any other way, unless by the sacrifice of human life. What mother would hesitate to sacrifice a thousand guinea pigs for the life of her child, or on the other hand would wish her child to serve as the ob- ject cf experiment for others? Horse Sense. “I: have often been asked if the horses subjected to this treatment for the pro- duction of anti-toxins suffer. I think not, and as an iilustration will relate an in- cident which has come under my own olservation, in tne study of the anti-tox- ins of that dread disease, _tubercutosis. A well-biooded horse, gentlé in every par ticular, excep: that he would run away upon the slightest provocation, seemed to be a suitable subject for some work. Ac- cordirgly he received an injection of the poison of the tuberculosis germ with the expectation that so high-strung an ani- mal would rebel against these pleasant 1: milicrities. But he was entirely too w for this. He submitted quietly and seemed much interested while by means of a hy- podermle syringe a small quantity of the poison was injected beneath his skin. A few days afterward when the operation Was repeated it would have been reason- able to expect that if there had been any discomfort the horse would have rebelled egairst the procedure. Did this happen. Not by any means. As soon as he observed the doctor appear with the syringe and bottle he trotted toward him with pleas- ure, stood quietly looking around with intelligence while the injection was made, and ever afterward lent himself to the experiment with as much evident pleasure and interest as that of the investigators, apparently thoroughly appreciating its ob: ject. “It would hardly be fair to say that this dumb animal was endowed with more intel- ligence than some of our ill-informed Lut well-meaning friends, and yet would Its 2c- tions not seem to indicate an appreciation of scientific work and disclaimer of st fler- ing? Treatment of Diseases. “Is it that they are instigated hy a desire to inflict torture that scores of ‘investiga- tors have sacrificed their lives in cearching for the poisons of dangerous baz‘eria and their anti-toxins? Is it inhumanity which spurs them on at imminent personal risks in their efforts which are daily yielding new and brilliant results to find means for con- trolling a disease which annually destroys cne-seventh of the population of the globe? “However, it is not only for protection against the two diseases, tetanus and diph- theria, just mentioned,that antitoxic serums can be prepared. Recent investigations have proved that typhoid fever, cholera, anthrax, the plague, etc., are amenable to similar treatment, and in the same depart- ment in this city that chemical vaccination received its first impetus, but by other workers it has been demonstrated. that two diseases that cause such losses to the farmers of the country may be controlled by antitoxic serum treatment. Investiga- ‘tors in this same laboratory have shown also that a substance antitoxic to tubercu- losis can be produced in the serum of ant- mals when they are properly treated, which has undoubted and pronounced effect in checking experimental tuberculosis in smal animals. When we inquire, however, the character of these antitoxins we are al- most as yet more in the dark than in our BRAINY GUESTS. Frequently Ha is Found on Trouble With What ‘ashionable Tables. Tt has been discov#Sed by sume of the society ladies in eome of the larger cities that a number of the most esteemed guests at their “functions” are more or less. dipagreeably affected by coffee, this fact being particularly observable among the brilliant and’ bratny ees. To’ meet the want of coffee fanciers with whom the subtle beverage docs not agree, Postum, tf Health coffee, has been quite largely introduced in fashionable quarters. This is a singularly appetizing drink, made from cereals (wheat, ete.), by the Pestum Cereal Co., Limited, » Mich, which incidentally looks and smells like fine coffee, but instead of producing the unpleasant disturbancés with the digestive organs, Coffee does tn darhberless cases, it agrees per- feetly with the weaktst stomach and is nourishi and fattening, being made wholly from pure grains. It can be served strong 28 an after dinner coffee with perfect success as to looks, taste and effe upon the guests, A reliable grocer will never offer a cheap or Weak imitation of a genuine original article because he happens to make 2 little extra profit. But tt is well to observe that when genuine Postum Ce- real coffee is ordered that you get Vostum and Rot a spurious imitation offered efforts to discover the exact nature of the poison germs. However, it has been possi- ble to separate in a fairly pure form the antitoxic principle from diphtheria serum a minute amount of which will confer im- munity, and the antitoxie principle of swine plague, .002 g. of which has been found to cure animals weighing one pound, and even a solid antitoxic-like substance for tuber- culosis has been obtaified in an impure form. All these solid antitoxic principles resemble each other very closely in their chemicai tests and methods of separation, showIng sibuminoid reaction, but in their cuzative properties they are totaily inde- pengeut the one of the other. The difficul- \y of separating these antitoxins complete- ly from the othér constituents of the blood has made it impossible as yet to obtain positive information as to their true chem- ical character. As to their action. One theory is that they directly neutralize the roison which the germ produced, but this does not seem to be substantiated by ex- periment. . Serum From Sankes. “The diphtheria anti-toxie serum does not cure tetanus, the swine plague serum does not cure the cholera. In the case of the venom of serpents it has been found, too, that repeated injections will make the serum of an animal anti-toxic and curative against other venoms. The anti-toxic se- rum, too, produced by the cobra venom will protect against the bite of the rattle- snake. It would seem from this that there is a very close relationship between the poisons of venomous snakes, and that im- munity to one also gives protection from the other. It seems very probable also that the poisons of germs belonging to the same germs will be closely allied and that an enti-toxin for one will also be an anti- toxin for the other. In fact, it has been demonstrated that the products of the coli communis will protect anfmals from the typhoid germ to which it is closely allied. The same will probably be found true with many other diseases where the germs are closely related. “When milk and cream are first collected they are almost free from germs, ‘but ex posed to the air they soon become fille with thcse form of life which are per- fectly harmless. If placed under suitable conditions with regard to temperature the A multiply very readily and the milk become sour,) @ue to the fermation of lactic aed pro@uced from the sugar in the milk by one dr'tttore of these germs.

Irolatign of “Now, by isolating different germs found in the ‘hitk and cultivating them seperately so is to discover their own pe- cullar preduct itis possible to always make butter of the same-sort and flavor by first destroying the ther germs present by Pas- teurization and then inoculating the cream with ‘the partigular germ desired. A num- ber of germs have been isolated from milk which will produce good butter and any one of them’ ts ‘Yhaps as good as the other, the ethereal product being slightly different and’more palatable to different individuals. Of jurse, a great many germs have been found which produce dis- agreeable compounds,’ and it is not possi ble to teil from their appearance simply which be a desirable plant, but it is easy to cultivate them in a small quantity of milk and note the results and select the desirable plant cell. Fortunately or unfortunately the use of the erms has been patented, so that in the near future we y see branded upon particularly fine butt and cheese patented in 189%, amended 1896, reissued 1908, &e, May we expect soon a patented process for breathing, eating and sleeping? Possibilities in the Mlerobe. “Recently it has been found, too, that malt ff inoculated with a particular germ from the skin of the grape will be con- verted into wine, and it is certainly not beyond the limits of possibilities that in the vo near future American beer after a ge to France may return as exc t apagne. he flayor of many luscious fruits and fcods is due to the products either di- rectly or indirectly—of one cr more of these useful plant cells. But it is not only in simple industrial processes that the products of germs are important. Man's very existence, while menaced on the one hand by a few geri Ss on the other dependent upon tt ctivity. The germs which in the soil produce nitrous and ni- tric acid and ammonia and aid their as- similation by the plants which facilitate the decomposition of phosphates and bring the phosphorous, a so necessary constitu- ent fer the ‘ife of plants and animals, into an assimilable form, and aid in the de- struction of dead vegetable matter, play an imyortant but little appreciated t in the continuance of the life and -weil be- ing of man, and cn the other hand, what role these similar germs play in the for- mation of poisonous alkaloids has not been thoroughly learned. When we find, too, a germ (as had been done recently) that can convert starch into cellulose we are al- most led to wonder if it might not be pos- sible to produce cotton in a culture flask if the particular germs were supplied with nutriticus fool and a sufficient amount of carbon dioxide, oxygen and water. We might spend months in speakitw; of the many other ways in which the pro- ducts of the dreaded bacteria are uscful to mankind, and note those which yield ex- ceedingly —brilllant dyes, some of which may be made practicably. useful. But these, ond many other-germs, are only waiting man’s bidding to become valuable subjects and to show that as has been instanced in the history of nations, con- quered people often make the best and wisest citizens. +. eee you want-anything, try an ad. in The tar.
