(2) the disease is transmissible, and that the same amoeboic formations were found in the blood of the experimental subjects as in the blood of the donors. The scientists carried on the work on the basis of these results and came to the conclusion that these amoeboic corpuscles were the morbific agents of malaria. In order to be quite sure they made another inoculation experiment. Experimental subject was a 43-year-old man with paralysis agitans. * * * * *
