page 257 note 1 In 23 of these negative cases, egg tubes were inoculated from the spleens, 40 in all, of guinea-pigs killed six weeks after intraperitoneal inoculation with original material. The tubes remained sterile in every instance. This precaution was taken since tubercle bacilli of reduced virulence sometimes fail to produce macroscopic lesions in guinea-pigs, though the bacilli inoculated survive and are recoverable from apparently normal tissues.
