23 rect, it is simply a question of time as to the dis- covery of specific organisms for all the infectious diseases. It is, to say the least, an innocent indulgence of the imagination to consider the influence of these discoveries upon medicine in the future. Having acquired knowledge of the natural history of the different species of parasitic organisms, a great practical object, of course, is to find means for their destruction within the body. Despite difficulties, this object will be accom...plished. The parasiticides in cases of malarial fever were long ago discovered, although it is not certain that the parasite has yet been described. Here is a disease completely un- der control by remedies, the efficacy of which is to be explained by their destructive effect on a spe- cific organism. Imagine all the infectious diseases to be as fully under control as are now the malarial affections ! Is it an exaggeration to say that a revo- lution in medicine would then have taken place ? This revolution will hereafter be dated from the re- cent discoveries in bacterial etiology.
