Excerpt from The Journal of Hygiene, 1912, Vol. 11 The present paper contains the results of an enquiry into the differentiation of certain organisms of varying source, which present characters more or less closely allied to those of the mannite or Flexner type of the dysentery bacillus. The non-mannite type, first discovered by Shiga in 1898, as the cause of certain forms of bacillary dysentery in Japan, and later by Kruse in 1901, as the cause of epidemic dysentery in Rhenish West phalia, has been shown to remain remarkably true to type, and our present cultural and serological methods amply suffice to separate it off clearly from the mannite or Flexner type. We are, in fact, justified in speaking of the Shiga bacillus of Dysentery. It is other wise with the mannite-fermenting type. The work of the last ten years in various countries has elicited the fact that the bacillus discovered by Flexner in Manila in 1901 must be regarded merely as a type of a group comprising an ever-increasing number of strains differing in certain properties from the type-strain, and from each other. The members, or sub-types, of the mannite-fermenting group, which have been most thoroughly investigated are Flexner's bacillus, the Y bacillus of Hiss and Russell discovered in 1904, and the bacillus of Strong.

Excerpt from The Annals of Hygiene, Vol. 11: A Journal of Health; January to December, 1896 Dr. William A. Hammond has asserted that there is no physiological necessity for death, claiming that if it were possible for an individual to determine just how much vital force he would require each day; and if he would consume just the amount of food necessary to produce this amount of force, that he could thereby maintain such an exact balance between breakin down and building up that everlasting life would be possible. In this idea, Dr. Hammond, while, to a certain extent, physiologically right, is, as we all know and believe, practically wrong. However, there can be no doubt but that what we should strive for is a balance between these two vital processes.
