Abstract
THE principle of treating bacterial infections by vaccines, i.e. sterilised preparations of the organisms which are disturbing the normal balance, has taken firm hold in modern English medicine. It has not reached its present position without a struggle, and even now it must be admitted that the proof of its usefulness depends more on the cumulative weight of personal impressions than on any rigid demonstration such as an extensive case-statistic would supply. In practice, however, an increasing body of influential opinion is in its favour, and the acceptance with which former editions of this work has been received shows that it meets a demand.
