They gain entrance into the body by direct inoculation, or through the mouth, or through the air passages. These bacilli of anthrax (of which we append drawings) are now almost universally ^believed to be the actual exciting cause of anthrax. Either these bacilli themselves or their spores are always present in enormous numbers in the blood of animals suffering from anthrax fever or splenic fever. The bacilli may be separated and washed with distilled water, alcohol, and ether, and dried, yet they still cause anthrax fever when introduced into animals. I'ure cultivation of this germ through fifty generations may be made with the same result. The germ always gives rise to anthrax fever, and never to any other. Therefore in it we recognise the direct cause of the Heart's Blood of a jMouse dead of Anthrax. 1. Blood-discs. " 2. ^^'hite blood-corpuscle. 3. Bacilli anthracis. INIagnifying power 700.
