...single instance of tuberculosis development in an inoculated child who had been living in sanitary surroundings. To date there have been 80,000 vaccinations. The third session was given over to the scientific proofs of which Professor Lignieres had so loudly spoken. These consisted of records of calves and guinea pigs who developed tuberculosis after having been shot with B. C. G. But he could not prove whether the infection came from B. C. G. or from some outside source. Frequent interruptions from a large and fashionable audience* in the gallery brought the presiding officer's gavel sharply down...
Noguchi discovered that American yellow fever was caused by a tiny organism which he named Leptospira icteroides; was carried by a common lady mosquito, Stegomyia calopus; that guinea pigs could be infected with the organism; that the mosquito would carry the infection from one animal to another ; that a horse serum could be prepared that would cure the disease if administered shortly after the infection. These facts known, the disease was conquered. The same process must be applied to West Africa. For over two years a Com mission of the Rockefeller Foundation has been at work on the problem...
Diagnosis of tuberculosis of the bones and joints cannot be accomplished by microscopic examination of fluid or tissue; it must be accomplished by injecting the fluid into guinea pigs.

Control and cure of diphtheria, rabies, yellow fever, typhoid fever, pneumonia, tetanus, and innumerable other diseases and pathological surgical conditions has been effected, like the above, by dealings with dogs and guinea pigs and rabbits...
...came 1,500 chemists for the 75th meeting of the American Chemical Society; organic chemists, inorganic chemists, biological chemists, physical chemists, industrial chemists, engineering chemists; chemists who worked with spectroscope and vacuum tube to find out the structure of the atom, chemists who spent their days with rabbit and guinea pig to ferret out the secrets of growth, chemists who messed about with saps and sawdust to build up substitutes for rubber, sugar, silk. More than 300 scientific papers were read. More than a fifth of these were on the program of the Division of Physical and Inorganic Chemistry...
