WE ARE NOW PREPARED TO SUPPLY GLYCERINATED GLYCERINATED VACCINE is aseptic vaccine-the pulp of cowpox vesicles mixed with pure glycerin for the destruction of the comparatively few streptoc eci or other bacteria likely to be present despite the most careful manipulation of the vaccine-producing animal Glycerin is not a powerful germicide; but it is powerful enough, as we have abundantly demonstrated in our Bacteriol gical Laboratory, to render germ free in a short time the vaccine to which in our hands it is applied. Moreover, it is perfectly harmless when applied to the abraded skin in connection with the prophylactic use of the vaccine. To those who are in the least acquainted with our methods of serum production it will be unnecessary for us to state that in the elaboration of vaccine we gua d every step with the most uncompromising scrutiny and assure the purity of the product by the most igid antiseptic and aseptic measures. The heifers before being vaccinated are tested with tuberculin. As an additional safeguard the animals are slaughtered as soon as the vaccine is collected, and a careful inspection of the carcass is made by an experienced meat-inspector; if any evidences of disease are found the vaccine is destroyed. "Points" are Unreliable and Unsafe. It is a noteworthy fact that manufacturers of vaccine have generally ignored thos› rules of rigid surgical asepsis which have been recognized for years as absolutely necessary when the physician desires to make a break in the healthy skin of his patient. As a result, septic infection after vaccination has been commonly met with in general practise. The object of the product now offered by us is to produce infection with pure cowpox and to avoid the sores and sloughs which naturally follow the use of vaccine material carelessly prepared and often loaded with the organisms of ordinary pus. In 1894 the Columbus Medical Laboratory of Chicago made a careful examination of eleven different varieties of vaccine "points," made by as many manufacturers, and only one was found to be free from bacteria and blood. cells. Of the rest, several were decidedly unfit for use. But, notwithstanding all our aseptic methods, vaccine, like other moist physiological products no matter how carefully prepared and protected, is liable to deteriorate after a certain period of time. For this reason we affix the date of shipment to each package, and authorize the drug trade to give fresh VACCINE in exchange for any quantity of unused and deteriorated virus purchased from us in good faith.
