Hornor, M. D., and F. F. Henderson, M. D. INTRODUCTION. We have already shown * that the primary essential lesionof whooping cough consists in the presence of masses of minutebacilli between the cilia of the epithelial cells lining the tracheaand bronchi. Their action is chiefly mechanical: they inter-fere with the normal movements of the cilia by sticking themtogether; in this way the micro-organism

Their action is chiefly mechanical: they inter-fere with the normal movements of the cilia by sticking themtogether; in this way the micro-organisms furnish a continualirritation which results in the symptoms peculiar to the disease. EXPERIMENTAL PRODUCTION OF LESION. The discovery of the primary and apparently characteristiclesion of whooping cough naturally suggested an attempt todetermine whether or not the organism growing between thecilia corresponded to the bacillus described by Bordet and Gen-gou as the cause of whooping cough.
