With medium K-—food for germs | composed essentially of small intcstine man, dog or rabbit— erms to gum from ible to the visible stages and he can also send them back to the unseen, Dr. Cutter said “This simple process has been described | by scientists who heard the announce- | ment last ~rek, as the greatest medical discovery since Louis Pasteur because, | they said, it will place within the reach of laboratory workers elusive baccili and make possible the discovery of the causes of influenza, common colds, | rheumatic fever, sleeping sickness and | The germs. |to comparatively tremen tions within two or three weeks and disintegrate into Invisibility within 10 days.
