The author checked Robertson's research on his causal research on progressive paralysis and found that the bacillus described by Robertson and Mc. Bae does exist. They are too common and are found in the normal throat and in the skin. They are really pathogenic, moreover, the disease they produce is in the majority of a chronic nature. These bacilli act destructively on the blood serum. They produce an immune body and can act as an antigen. This antigen can also be produced at the site of the disease.
