TY - JOUR AU - ARMS, B. L. AB - Since Strauss1 in 1886 discovered the fact that when material containing virulent B. mallei was inoculated into the peritoneal cavity of male guinea pigs scrotal lesions developed, the method which bears his name has been very generally used. A positive reaction followed by typical organisms and a typical culture is unfailing evidence of the presence of B. mallei in the material inoculated, while the failure to obtain the reaction is not proof that the horse from which the specimen was taken has not glanders. Hill and Burr,2 and also Frothingham,3 in 1901 called attention to the fact that frequently material from a horse which had glanders, as proved by autopsy, failed to give the reaction. The bacteriologic laboratory of the Boston Board of Health makes free examination for any disease of a bacterial nature which is dangerous to public health.
