The bactericidal power of blood serum
the children were reflecting; that the greatest need in such a situation was for psychiatric treatment of the parents. The alibis usually advanced by parents were discussed and every effort made to discredit them as common real causes. Available information regarding the natural tendency of children to bchavc well, i.f permitted to do so, milS also discussed in the eRort to relieve the women of the feeling that the) were about to enter upon a task of making naturally bad creatures OVCBI into good ones. Information regarding places to get help for cithcl physical or mental disturbances of the children was given on request. The immediai(~ response to this sort ol tcachin g wits apparently good. The women showed considerable intcrrst and some of them seemed to find relief for some of their worries about child raising. We believe, as a result, that we have laid groundwork which may prevent them from allowing disturbances in the home to develop to a point where they arc as hard to treat as those which now commonly come to the psychiatric clinics. In sonic cases we may have relieved conflicts which might have become serious. This seemed true in both the cases reported. (‘ONCI,UPIOS,S

Based upon tile atucly of 29 pregnant tuberculous \vomen from the Umberto 1 Sanitarium of Rome, the author observed that contrary to what is verified in those xEected with pulnlonnry tuberculosis without pregnancy, the baetericirlal power of the blood serum against Koch’s bacillus is constantly and not,iceably diminished in pregnant patients. Despite the tlamaging effect of pregnancy upon the system of immunity in the tuberculous patient, the author infers from his experience that when pregnant women enjoy the benefits of treatment in a sanatorium, a majority of them will go to term without further damage.
