Show Ilnnsrr and Infection. The important fact that hunger increases in-creases liability to contract certain diseases dis-eases has been demonstrated experimentally experi-mentally by two Turin doctors. Pigeons usually resist anthrax, but aftor a fast of six days they proved amenable to the virus if food was still withheld, but resisted re-sisted it if food was given at the game time as the virus. When the fasting was continued for two days after tho inoculation and food then given, the disease was not prevented, but ran a slower course. Even birds well fed up to tho time of the inoculation, proved susceptible to the virus if kept without food after inoculation.
