Whether there are small initial cavities, in which only
the tubercle bacillus, without the phthisiogeneous microbe,
is colonized, the future must decide. For the present I
state in regard to this important question that I have not
found up to the present time any cavities of the lung, in
the wall of which the tubercle bacillus was isolated, but
only such in which both are combined, or only the phthisi-
ogeneous microbe. But it has not been proved, so far, that
the tubercle bacillus in itself alone is able to produce cavi-
ties of the lung, although, I think it probable that the initial
phases of the cavities may be produced by the tubercle
bacillus alone.
