Other Examinations.
45 samples of other materials were examined, viz., 6 milks
(for sterility), 31 tinned goods (for sterility), 2 urines (suspected
tubercle), 1 pus (suspected gonorrhoea), 1 urine (suspected
gonorrhea), 1 pleuritic effusion (suspected tubercle), and 3 skin
scabs (1 from a child, and 2 from mice, with suspected favus
disease).
In connection with the skin scabs, the parasite, which causes
the skin disease known as favus, was isolated, and the disease
traced from 2 mice to a child who had played with them. Afterwards,
a cat became inflicted with the same disease at the next
door house. The parasite is the achorion Schonleinii.
All the milks were found to be sterile, as also 30 of the
31 tinned goods.
