456 THE CHARLOTTE MEDICAL JOUPv:NAL. The Gonococcus in Gonorrhoea, Purulent Ophthalmia, and Pyo- salpinx. J. H. Wrigl t (Medical Times) succeeded in cultivating a diplococcus which was, with little doubt, the gonococcus, from seven casses of acute gonorrhoeal urethritis, from eight cases of purulent ophthalmia (of whom four were infants), and from four out of twenty cases of pyosalpinx. It was also found in a case of vaginitis in a child aged nine years. The only uncertainty about the identification of the diplococcus was that inoccula-tions were not made into the human urethra. Other bacteria developed in the cultures from the cases of acute urethritis, but their colonies were usually few in numoer, and doveloped more slowly than the gonococci. The cultures from the case of vaginitis were almost pure, but contained a few bacteria like pneumococci. In the cases of ophthalmia, it wouid appear that the cultures were pure in all but two cases. In the cultures^ from the cases of pyosalpinx no other bacteria appear to have grown. The culture material used w^as a solid urine-serum-agar. Contrary to the experience of other experimenters, it was found that ox serum would serve as well as human. A litre of nutrient agar (beef infusion) prepared in the usual way was evaporated to 600 c.c., run into test tubes and sterilized by steam three times. Blood serum, which it was not necessary to have free from corpuscles, was first run through white sand to remove coarse particles, and mixed with half its volume of fresh urine. The mixture of serum and urine was filtered through a porcelain filter by exhaustion. The filtered mixture was then added to the agar (at 40° C.) in the proportion of two or three parts to six parts of agar. The tubes are then cooled on the slant. In a footnote Wright states that W. R. Stokes has succeeded in cultivatiug the coccus from gonorrhceal urethritis on Loef-fler's coagulated btood-serum mixture rendered slightly acid. The medium was coagulated in the tubes by dry heat, and sterilized by steam. This method was tried in consequence of the publication by Turro of the statement that he had succeeded in cultivating the gonococcus on acid gelatine, a statement which Wright, however, is unable to confirm. I Temperance vs. Crime. In the annual report of the State Board of Pardons of Ohio attention-is called to the fact that the board has in most cases deemed it prudent to include in the recommendation for pardon a condition requiring abstinence from the use of intoxicating liquor. This is done in the belief that it will lessen the liability of the pardoned prisoner to again commit the crime. • "It is a conspicuous fact," says the report, "that in nearly every case of crime against the person the offender was either under the influence of liquor or became involved in an affair by reason of being in a place where intoxicating liquor was sold."
