We have been manufacturing Bearings for more than 30 years. Duri ng tllOse years we have acquired much experience in workmanship, held our own against foreign competition , and have bui lt a solid foundation worthy of Nippon's Bearing I ndustry. Since the outbreak of the War, we have concentrated on mass production of high grade bearings for warplanes, tanks, and other weapons of war, as well as for various civilian needs. The superiority of our Bearing is clearly demonstrated by ti,e glorious and brilliant vi ctories ach ieved by our fighting forces.

Recently about 80 youths from the Prulippines, Burma, Java, Malai and Sumatra arrived in Tokyo to study. They are the cream of carefully selected youths from among the thousands, who hold high hopes of becoming leaders of their respective countries some day. Among the Filipino boys some will study Nippon's police methods and administration , while others plan to enter colleges and universities. Included in the Filipino group are the sons of Jorge B. Vargas, Chairman of the Central Executive Commission, and Dr. Jose P. Laurel, Chairman of the Independence Preparatory Committee.

Dollar and Pound, with which the Anglo-American powers had been monopolizing international trade and commerce, were thrown overboard by the recent Nippon-German monetary agreement. Based upon the economic agreement signed on January 20th this year, a monetary agreement providing for " a definite formu la for smooth direct settlement between the Yen and Reichsmark " was signed between the Yokohama Specie Bank and the German East Asiatic Bank. In the settling of accounts between the two countries, the new arrangement enables each of the banks to obtain its respective currency.

America is facing another grave dilemma. According to Harold Ickes, Oil Coordinator in the Roosevelt administration, the U.S. is facing a dearth of high

octane gasoline wruch is used for aviation. So the question simmers down to : How is the U.S. going to By her airplanes wruch are being built by the thousands, as she claims? Same source also admits the shortage in the ordinary gasoline in Ameri ca. The New York Times, mouthpiece of Roosevelt, laments that before long there wont be enough gasoline for America's war front. In any case has it ever occurred to the Yanks tl,at it would be safer to keep the precious gasoline at home, in view of the huge losses sustained by the Anglo-American convoys? The axis submarines and air forces will continue their devastating rampage. It will be recalled that Roosevelt attempted to scare Nippon into submission by withholding export of gasoline and oil to this country. He missed his guess.

Dawn over Burma Burma jOins the Co-prosperity Sphere

,- Burma for the Burmese ,- has not been a mere vain and futil e aspiration of the people in Burma_ Burma had bee n groaning under British Illjsrule for over a ce ntury, but the War of Creater East Asia filially brought a bout Burma's libe ration on Aug u t 1, 1943. (("onl. on ne<f IIUSt)

NIPPON-PHILIPPINES

As regards the independence, Foreign Minister Thakin Nu stated that it "is based on peace, justice and the creation of a new world order." He further added that the independence does not mean that Burma will exist "solely for her olYn self, for she is at the same time a Burma which exists for the whole of East Asia." It is gratifyjng to learn that Burma has grasped the signilicance of Nippon' s war aims as well as the meaning of independence which an East Asiatic country should entertain. It is not necessary now to repeat the story of British plunder, exploitation, oppression and all manner of brutalities practised upon Burma in the past. Immediately upon the proclamation of independence Burma declared war upon the U.S. and Britain. Following this proclamation, Prime Min.ister Ba Maw and Sawada Remo, Nippon's Ambassador to Burma, signed a treaty of alliance in behalf of their respective countries. Since the independence China, Thailand, Germany, Italy and other friendly powers extended their recognition to the new Burma. Burma was focussed in the world spotlight in connection with the so-called "B urma Road" through which the AngloAmerican powel's used to feed Chungking with war supplies. Today Burma ha put up a "no trespassing" sign on this route, and if necessary she will rerel such illegal use by resorting to force. Burma was annexed by Britain in 1885, after having made three fruitless resistance against unprovoked wars. Tbe lirst war was started in 1824 when the infamous and rapacious East India Company attacked Rangoon and took a slice of B rna. Then in 1853 British deliberately provoked the second war which resulted in the seizure of lower Burma. This British theft opened the way for rice exports to Europe from Burma through the Suez Canal, which had just been opened. Britain began to prosper at the expense of Burma and her people . . Burma's fate was sealed in 1885, when the plundering Britain slapped on the linal war and grabbed the whole of Burma. Since the British rape of 1824, Burma had been making constant efforts to tree herself from the British bondage. From 1826 Burma had been ruled as part of British India, but llDder the Government of India Act of 1935, she was made a Crown Colony detached from British India. Burma was given a conAft er the dec lara ti on of wo r, Prime Minister Ba Maw and Sawada Renstitution of her own and fun ctioned llDder a bicameral system zO, 'ipp on's fi rs t Ambassado r 10 Burnln , sigf1 ed u treat y of al li an ce. composed of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Actually, however, such "self-governmen t" was highly misleading, ch.aracteristic of British betrayal and duplicity, for the Burmese had no political power under such arrangement. Burma was awakened by tile dawn of a new Iiglll when the War of Greater East Asia opened the vista of liberation. On March 8, 1942, Nippon's Imperial forces occupied Rangoon, whicll was followed by the establishment of a Military Admini-. stration in Burma on June 24t11. On August 1st Burma's Administrative Organ, headed by Dr. Ba Mhw, as Chief, was set up. At the diet session on February 16, 1942, Prime Minister General Tozyo Hideki stated that Nippon would grant independence to Burma provided the latter agreed to co-operate with Nippon in the prosecution of the war. Later on January 28, 1943, Prime Minister Tozyo reiterated his former declaration and assured Burma an independence within 1943. NipLI. -Gc n.

These self-criticisms from British sources have not apvanced the cause of India's independence. Since the acquittal of Warren Ha tings, Pres. of the Council of the East India Company and first Governor-General of British India, on charges of " high crimes and misdemeanors " Britain has continuously protected and supported her civil servants, no matter how unscrupu lou ly or tyrannically they might have acted in India. A house divided unto itself cannot stand ; likewise there should be complete unity and harmony within the ranks of the Indians themselves. The Indian National Army, composed of patriotic Indians of all political, religious, and caste differences have adopted as their slogan, "Unity, Faith and Sacrifice" which is a challenge to the "divide and rule" policy. Tills army is well trained and equipped with the latest weapons willch modern warfare demands. The Indians have been assured of full moral and material support from other countries in East Asia, who are united in their efforts to oust the American and British influence from this part of the world. Unfortunately either through British propaganda or sheer ignorance, some Indians of the intellectual class did not take kindly to Nippon's policy vis-a-vis the China Incident. However, we trust that they have changed their mind today. All of Nippon's wars against foreign powers had for their objective "Asia for Asiatics" or the emancipation of the down-trodden races from the Anglo-American dominance. And the War of Greater East A ia is the final stroke of that noble aim. Bu.rma's independence and lhe pending Philippine independence amply prove that Nippon' pledges are always kept.

MOTOR CARS ON THE WARPATH

There is no gainsaying that the motor cars are playing an important parI in modern warfare which calls for quick means of transportation. The redu ction of Malai penin ula in such a brief period can be attribuled 10 the rapid movemenl of troop which were transporled by trucks. In fact a mechanized uni t, part of which consists of motor trucks, can be made just as devastating as the air force. Before the war Nippon's au tomobile industry was not

fully developed as it should have been because motor cars could be procured more cheaply by importing than manufacturing them at home. However, since the outhreak 0 the war Nip. pon's automobile industry has expanded by leaps and bounds. Nippon need not rely upon outside source for motor cars. Today Nippon bas acquired or made available to herself unlimited material resources and eugineering technique reo quired for developing an iudependent and powerful motor car

industry. On top of that ' ippon has all the ga oline needed to operate the motor cars which the industry au produce. It is not an idle dream or expectati on to say that, in due COllrse ippon's motor cars will be operating throughou t the southern regions, and as a result thereof employme nt given to the lo cal inhabitants. In the pages to follow we are setting forth graphically how ollr motor car industry is blazing the warpath in the curre nt war.

Motor car & Soldiers P

e lightning speed with which tJ,e ippon forces have captured important enemy strategic points or bases in the current War of Greater of East Asia has astounded the world. Tlt.is " blitzkrieg " advance was made possible through tJ,e use of ultra-modern mechanieal power. In oilier words ippon's military posse es an enorm ous quan tity of motor cars th at can tran port troops rapidly. 11,e su ccess of the warfare in tJ,e jungles, swamps and mountainous districts was due to our motorized units along tJ,e Burma and Malai fronts. That wlUch has been usually assumed to be impossible was accomplished like a mira Ie tJrrough the concerted action of the motorized units and the spirit back of them. Soldiers at the fron t fondly call their motor trucks, " Our war buddies," and personify tJ,e trucks. A certain author, who is serving a war correspondent at Burma front , makes the fol-

lowing interesting observation ill one of his correspondence:

While there was not a drop of rain during ilie dry season, there were always dewdrops at night. There were tJt.ickeLS on hoth sides of the road, and we couldn't discover even a single house iliat might have given us a shelter for the nigh~. Therefore, we de ided to crawl und r the trllcks and sp nd the night. Since the trucks cou ld not acconrrnodate our whole body, we pu t only our heads beneath tJ,e trucks, while the lower part of our torso wa e"'posed. Even at tJ,e we were thankful. Coming to think about it, even these tru cks had crossed tJ,e ocean with us and had come a ll the way from bome. We were deeply moved . These trucks, like ourselves, had gone through many hardIt.ips--nay, they must bave gone through greater tribu lations. They have trans-

ported heavy loads, carried us, and on top of that provided ns with shelter. When we thought about these tltiogs we became sentimental. " Toyoda, we're mnch obliged to you, " we addressed tJ,e tru cks. " Same to you! Don' t mind me. Go to bed for I'll be watching over you. " That was what the trucks seemed to, Or migbt have said. These sturdy tru cks stood by silently like determined senti nels. Once I fell very much like a child. It happened at a very steep grade near the Tbailand-Burma border. First-class private Yamagi repeatedly shouted, "Go to it, Toyoda! " He was addressing and rooting for tJ,e trucks which were struggling upgrade. (By the way " Toyoda" is the name of a represen tative motor car manufacturer in Nippon). That buck private addressed the trucks like the trucks which are personified in children's story book. After the trucks had made the grade private Yamagi said, " I'd like to give ilie trucks a drink of water. " The soldiers regard ilie trucks" as living creatures like tJ,e horse. Could the soldiers' love for the trucks be regarded in the same light as that which the cllildren might entertain for trucks generally? Certainly not. The soldier's attacllment for the trucks is far higher and nobler tJ,an that shown by chi ldren. It is such an attitude which the soldiers have for ilieir trucks that closely binds the soldiers and the truck. ] t spurs tJ,em to exert their utmost in every strategy or combat and enables them to pring surprise attacks. " Well, Toyoda let's tighten ou r belt agrun tomorrow. Good night. " And thus bidding good night to our tru cks, we soon fe U into a deep lumber.

I-Iow to Pick a Mate Has wife choosing become a lost: art: ?

here are three important periods in mankind, viz_ birth, marriage, and death . Of course, some of the readers may disagTee with till classification, but give us a chan ce to air our views on one of them. The ability to choose a wife has become a neglected art, but we be lieve it could be revived aml placed on respectable basis_ Tbrough a process of exc(usion and inclusion we selected 14 points (not to be co nfused with Woodro\~ Wilson's 14 points at the Versailles conference on the art of c1lOosing a lvue (or husband as the case may be). We have taken the man's point of view, but believe that with the neces--<ary modifications women may also find t1,ese suggestions helpful. WeJJ, we wont tarry any longer, so here goes the 14 pointers on blissful matrimony: • l Over-educated ones may be better than half-baked ones_ However, tlu s not an infallible rule_ • 2 One witllout any career O( independent source of income to be preferred. • 3 Don' t Hauer her-say what you mean and don't mislead her. Don' t let your burning ardor say tllings wliich, in your ober moment, you may be called upon to exp lain, qualify or deny. If you tlunk tIlat she's like a cactus plant don't call her a ro~e! • 4 Don' t ~eek too high-strike the happy medium. You might remain a confirmed bachelor not by choice, but by for ce of circumstances. It's OK to hitcll your ambition to a star, but not to a prospective wife_ • 5 Don' t marry for ti,e sake of wea lth. You' ll regret it later. Give her the dougb, but don' t take bers! (We know this advice is never beeded, but after all mOlley is the root of most domesti c disruption). • 6 Don't be too confidential with anyone unti l you are ready to lead her to the altar_ • 7 Don' t discuss what YOllI' ideal should be, or what you expect to pick. You may not realize it, or be able to pi ck anything at all. Remember, marriage is not like selling stocks & bonds_ • B Make as wide an acqnaintance as you can, and if

YOll shou ld pick your choi ce, by all means 'on ce ntrate on her. Remember that a wise girl is perhaps in the same frame of mind as you are in this respe t. • 9 Don' t di parage or smear any woman's character or replltation. Respect them outwardly at least, if you have some doubt about it. • 1 0 Keep them gue ing- be a "mystery man." Read tI,is in conllection with os_ 6 & 7. • 1 1 Watch out for the gossipy broadcasting type. he must at least be able to be a clam when occasion demallds. Some one cynica lly remarked that ti,e on ly silen t women are ti,e wax models, but we sti U have faith in our living models to keep their trap shut when necessary.

• 1 2 Beware of ti,e social climber or the title-seeker. Sbe' ll drain your waUet or drive you into bankruptcy. Don ' t believe ill tlus ? Go tIlrollgh the cow·t records or wade tltrough ti,e divorce proceedings and ~ee for yourself. • 1 3 Watch out and keep away from tile gold-diggers_ Sbe's a speculator who will speculate upon every Tom , Dick and Harry, and sponge upon them dry and turn their pocket inside out. It's easy to de tect tllis type of buuerfly who flutters here and tllere. A gold-digger is never satisfied even after she's married ! • 1 4 Pi ck out the one whose domestic tranquility is beyond reproach. If her home- life before marriage is unhappy it will repeat itse lf in your own.

• Minami Satoye was a member of the SyoLiku girls revue tToupe wh.ich toured ManjJa a year ago. " How about going to Manila again ?P' we asked her. I'd love to, " he smiled. n We were in Manila abou t this time last year. I can vividly recall the Escolta, whi ch can be likened to OUT U

Ginza. " .

She said that the girls were royally received in Manila, but regretted that because of the inadequate stage selling and equipmen t they were unable to put up a real revue. " I hope that as many as possible of our Filipino fri ends ca n visi t us in Tokyo. We can e ntertain with beller shows than those we gave them in Manila." Just then the bell rang. " We ll , I must go back to rehearsal now," Satoye smiled and joined the other girls.

Ily ORlfNT

he revue is another imported institution, but thanks to the constant police vigilance the moral depravity or delinquency, which usually befall upon the Yankee chorus girls, is practically unknown in Nippon. A foreign visitor once cynically remarked, " In the U.S. the chorus girls don' t wear enough clothing, but in Japan too much is worn !" Not only is the technique of production and presentation of high level, but the revue itself aims at wholesome and clean entertai nment so that even the children may enjoy it witllout blushing. Tn maintaining such standard the rod ucers carefully plan the revue, which is gotten up by p\ecemeal. We shall carry you through the various processes ntil the sholY is finally ready for the stage. First of all the business manager, directors of the stage. lighting, setting and music hold a powwow Lo deci de llpon the vaudeville or play. They thrash it out from various angles. not necessarily co nfi ning it to their respective departments. After the conference the script is wrillen or prepared. and each department head is given a copy [rom which preparations

are made according to the respecti ve assignments. The stage director will have cbarge of the chorus. acting. and the dancing, all of which is accompanied by the piano during the rehearsal. I t is done independent of the orchestra . He casts and recasts the different parts to the girls. The director in charge of se tting is responsible [or the property, costumes, sceneries and other stage paraphernalia required in the revue. T he musi c director wi ll have charge of the orchestra and be responsible for the necessary music anrl orcllestration. Like the chorus girls the orchestra n ,hearses alon until the final grand rehearsal. The director of lighting studies the lighting effects. and his efforts become kno,vn only after the final groto l rehearsal takes place. When the final dress rehearsal takes place the assignments of all departments are patched together, and for the first tinle they meet as a single lInit. 路 During sllch rehearsal the necessary alterations, modifi cation , etc. are rn a,le to the show before it is fi nally put on the stage .

Back-stage sce • The revue girls go through intensive rehearsal under the cri tical coaching of the stage director. Girls who show prorru£e in specialty numbers are ingled out from among the group and given individual instructio n. Costumes are the chorus girl ' worlcing assels which begui Ie the weary theater-goers, hence they m'e carefully stored away until ca lled for. In order to enliven the girls' gaudy costumes and thea tri cal make-up. gorgeOll £etting are added by' means of arti ti c designs to the general stage effect. Back stage worker , who build tbe stage prop, acce sories and other paraphernalia, m'e the silent actors behind the stage who deserve much credit for the successful presentation of the revue. Another group of workers, upon wllO£e shoulders lie the task of malcing the revue girls captivating on the stage, are tbe members of the lighting section who handle the lights and iUu.m.ination. Theil' job, like that of the stage-seller , appears modest, but their importance is recognized by the public who know anything about the revue.

Dr. Kitasato Sibasaburo Discoverer of Serum Therapy

ippon has pr odu ced internationally famous scienti ts, as Dr. oguti Hideo, Dr. iga, and Dr. Kitasato , all of whom h ave contributed to the medi cal science and the common weal of mankind. Dr. Siga discovered th e dysentery bacilli during the dysentery epidemic in 1898. Dr. Noguti's contributions to medi cine were 0 numer ous that a foreign medi cal journal, in tribute to him , remarked that " to trace his romanti c career involves a consideration of infectious diseases throughout the world. " Dr. Kitasato discovered the serum treatment for diptheria and other infe ctious di eases through the Tetanus or lockjaw. The bacteria of tetanus was discovered in 1884 by a foreign doctor, although the disease had existed long pri or thereto. In 1889 Dr. Kitasato described the causative mi crobe of the bacillus telani. Nature of Tetanus

Tetanns or lockjaw is a disease caused by a bacillus, whose infection creeps through open wounds, but does not penetrate into healthy skin. The symptoms of tetanus are highly sensi-

tive nen'ous tension, so that slightest jar caused by footstep, breeze coming in through the window, strong light, or any other irritation, no matter how smail, r eacts upon the spinal cord and canses pasm of the muscles. In severe cases these spasms affect tlle entire body, which becomes rigid or twisted like a bow. At times death overtakes the â&#x20AC;˘ patient as a result of heart failure or asphyxiation, the latter due to paralysis of the diaphragm. Sometimes the patient i starved to d(lath due to spasm of the mouth or throat muscles, making it impossible for biro to take food. Bacillus te tani can be found chiefly mong manure pile, soil, and dust so the disease is most common in districts wi re people come int contact with hor es or manures. Pri r to tile discovery of preventive measure by Dr. Kitaala, i was common for both men and horses on the war front to succumb to the tetanus.

was adopted. He maintained that if any bacteria, which were susceptible to cultivation, could not be reproduced by pure cultnre, then Dr. Koch's theory that any specific bacillus could be isolated would be thrown overboard. Dr. Koch supported Kitasato's idea and encouraged him to carry out his experiments in pure culture of the bacillus tetani. Dr. Kitasato had already published the results of his findings in typhoid, cholera, and other bacilli. Despite the unsuccessful attempts by other doctors to isolate the bacillus tetani, Dr. Kitasato made up his mind to tackle the problem. He secured fresh virus from tetanus patien ts at the Berlin Army Hospital and inoculated lhe animals wi th the disease. He then cultivated the bacillus taken from su eh animals, but could not improve upon the results obtained by other scientists. There were always other microbes present anlong the bacillus tetani.

BaciIlus lclani isolated

Bacillus te tani i solated

In January 1885, Dr. Kitasato was d ispatched to Germany by the Home Ofli ce to study under the famous Dr. RobertKo ch. There were other German doctors and scholars studying under Dr. Koch , but none could cultivate the bacillus tetani withou t isolating the other bacilli. One German bacteriologist reported that the bacillus tetani did not exist alone but was always found:among oth.er bacteria. However, Dr. Kitasato was not satis. fied with such lheory because all bacteria that cou ld be propagated artificially were isolated from other bacilli and cultivated independently. For instance, anthrax, tubercul.a r, and cholera bacilli were all isolated from oLher bacilli and cultivated independently. Therefore, he was convinced that there was no reason why.the bacillus tetani, could not be similarly cultivated. He discussed his idea with Dr. Koch, and argued that pure cultivation of the germ should be feasible, provided a correct method of cultivation

Dr. Kitasato abandoned lhe ordinary method of planting the germs only on the surfa ce of the cultivating plate. Instead he smeared the tetani germs on a platinum wire and placed it in a testtube which contained gelatin cultivating plate. Olher ba cilli were present at lhe mouth of the tube, bu.~ further inside [he tube they decreased and only the bacillus tetani remained in lhe extreme interior. Thi. experiment was repeated several times and the results were identical. "I've got it! " Dr. Kitasato exclaimed. He reached the conclusion that lhe bacillus tetani thrived in the absence of free oxygen, since this bacillus was found in abundance far back in the interior of the lest-tube where the oxygen was absent. He also found lhat there were two main groups of bacteria : (1) tl,Ose called "aerobes," which require free oxygen for lheir development and (2) those called " anaerobes," which thrive without free oxygen. Bacillus

NIPPON-PHILIPPINES tetani belonged to the second group. As regards the destruction of bacteria, Dr. Kitasato discovered that those which were foW!d together with bacillus tetani could be 'killed in a temperature ranging from 60· to 70· F. Therefore he propagated the bacillus tetani by the gelatin method and destroyed the other bacilli by h eating. He placed the remaining bacillus tetani on the platinum wire and put them on a fresh gelatin culti\'ating plate. No other bacillus appeared at the mouth of the test-tube, but further inside there was a colony of bacillus tetani . With the bacillus thus obtained from tlus pure culture Dr. Kitasato condu cted animal experimentation, and caused the tetanus infection to such animal. Thus pure culture of tetanus became possible, and description of the causitive nUcrobe of the tetanus was made available. Dr. Kitasato was 38 years of age when he made tills great discovery whi ch proved a boon to medical science. His feat not only added personal fame but also brought prestige to Dr. Koch's research laboratory. This discovery prodded Dr. Kitasato to make further studies on tile contagious effect of the bacillus tetani. He found that , unlike the contagious nature of tuber culosis or cholera, the bacillus tetani was lo calized and did not spread beyond tile original port of entry. In other contagious diseases, tile bacillus spreads throughout the entire body resulting in fever and other agonies, but the bacillus tetani does not spread outside the lo cality of the woun d where it first enters. Then why is it that the victim of tetanus suffers agonizing pain, which at times may prove fatal to life itself ? Can such bacillus only bring abou t these violent spasms, or are there some otller cause? Can it be possible tll at there may be some kind of toxin or poison wluch is being excreted from the body that causes tllese spasms? These were the questions which Dr. Kitasato felt must be answered and prompted him to continue with the te tanus experiments. Two German scientists previously reported that bacillus tetanus ex creted toxin or poison , but Dr. Kitasata was not fully satisfi ed Witll their experiments and the results obtained by tllem. His ambition was to isolate the toxin from the bacillus. Dr. Kitasato reasoned that if, after the toxin were injected into the body and caused the tetanus, then it be came evident that the disease could be

cau ed only by the poison excreted from the bacillus. Therefore, he sought to separate the bacillus tetani from the toxin which he believed existed in the bacillus. Dr. Kitasato devised a filter of his own design, with whi ch he succeeded in filtering the fluid containing the pure cultured bacillus tetani. Tlus fil tered fluid contained neither the bacillu tetani nor the spores (germ or seeds of the bacteria) . A small amount of the flui d, wlu cll contained tile toxin , was injected into rabbits and rats. After the lapse of a given period , the animals began to go rough the spasms in the same maDner as if the bacillus tetani \ ere injected into their ( stem. He repeated tlus experinle nt several

times,

and invariably obtai ned the same result. He therefore concl uded, that tetanus or lockjaw originates from the toxin excreted by the bacillus and not from the ba cillus itself. Dr. Kitasata weakened the tetanus toxin , which is virulent, by diluting it several tllOusa nd times and injected the toxin into the experimental animals in order to determine the minimum amount of toxin which would cause death to these animals. After the fatal amount was determined, the diluted toxin was again diluted several thousand times and injected into the animals until they showed no signs of having contracted the disease. When the animals were able to absorb the diluted toxi n without any mortal effect, the toxin dose was gradually increased until the fixed minimum fatal quantity was reached. These doses did not affect the animals. In other words the animals by degrees had become accustomed to the toxin through such process, which resulted in immunity from the tetanus. Tetanu8 Antitoxin Next he pro ceeded to find an anti-

toxin which could cou nteract the toxin. He be lieved that su ch antitoxin might be found in the bJood , because the animals became im mune no matter from what part of the body tile injection was made. T herefore , Dr. Ki tasato concluded that in the fina l analysis an antitoxin, wherever it might originate, would be found in the blood. He took the serum of the blood extracted from the immu nized animal and injected it into another animal, and simul taneously inoculated the tetanus toxin. The result was negative. 1116n he mixed the serum and the toxin, an d injected tile animal with tlus mi.xture, but the disease did not appear . This was because such serum contained a substan ce whiell counteracted the toxin. Thus he discovered that the serum of an immunized animal could be used as a prophylati c of the disease. At that time diptheria experiments were being carried out by other scientists at Ko ch 's laboratory, but they made no progress. Dr. Koch urged Kitasato to do research work in diptheria, whi ch resulted in his discovery of the serllm treatm ent of diptheria on the basis of the experiment in the tetanus.
