The evident selective affinity of Koch's lymph for tuberculous tissue
may enable it, in certain cases, to effectually seal the arterial
capillaries about the affected parts, owing to the intense vaso-motor
disturbance produced. This would starve the germs, which, with the
tubercular matter, may be expectorated through the moisture and motion
of the lungs. In incipient cases the tubercles might be as readily
absorbed as catgut ligature, and the germs, if any, fall to phagocytic
prey. The Koch lymph is evidently not a poison to the germs, and
probably has no other action on the affected organs than that of an
irritant, having a selective affinity by virtue of the kinship with
its contents. This theory of its action is supported by our common
knowledge of the power of pyogenic agents to awaken old or slumbering
inflammations, and the fact that septic fevers, such as small-pox,
have been known to leave the consumptives with the last stages free
from every symptom.

THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN
ARCHITECTS AND BUILDERS EDITION.
$2.50 a Year. Single Copies, 25 cts.
This is a Special Edition of the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, issued
monthly--on the first day of the month. Each number contains about
forty large quarto pages, equal to about two hundred ordinary book
pages, forming, practically, a large and splendid Magazine Of
Architecture, richly adorned with _elegant plates in colors_ and with
fine engravings, illustrating the most interesting examples of modern
Architectural Construction and allied subjects.
A special feature is the presentation in each number of a variety of
the latest and best plans for private residences, city and country,
including those of very moderate cost as well as the more expensive.
Drawings in perspective and in color are given, together with full
Plans, Specifications, Costs, Bills of Estimate, and Sheets of
Details.
No other building paper contains so many plans, details, and
specifications regularly presented as the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN.
Hundreds of dwellings have already been erected on the various plans
we have issued during the past year, and many others are in process of
construction.
Architects, Builders, and Owners will find this work valuable in
furnishing fresh and useful suggestions. All who contemplate building
or improving homes, or erecting structures of any kind, have before
them in this work an almost _endless series of the latest and best
examples_ from which to make selections, thus saving time and money.
Many other subjects, including Sewerage, Piping, Lighting, Warming,
Ventilating, Decorating, Laying out of Grounds, etc., are illustrated.
An extensive Compendium of Manufacturers' Announcements is also given,
in which the most reliable and approved Building Materials, Goods,
Machines, Tools, and Appliances are described and illustrated, with
addresses of the makers, etc.
The fullness, richness, cheapness, and convenience of this work have
won for it the Largest Circulation of any Architectural publication in
the world.
A Catalogue of valuable books on Architecture, Building, Carpentry,
Masonry, Heating, Warming, Lighting, Ventilation, and all branches of
industry pertaining to the art of Building, is supplied free of
charge, sent to any address.
