Abstract
Normal, healthy dogs with good oral hygiene were selected for this expt. Photographs and smears for Vincent''s organisms were taken, and the saliva was analyzed for the carbonate content to determine whether a correlation existed between the carbonate and Vincent''s infection. The dogs were injd. intraven. daily with V20 rng. Scillaren B. Most of the ingested food was regurgitated. After 3 injns., an increase in fusiform and spirilla-like organisms was observed. In 8-10 days, ulcerative lesions, from which Vincent''s organisms were isolated, occurred on the buccal mucosa, gingiva and tongue.
