TUESDAY, APRIL ACID SUSPECTED DF BEING T-B USE (Aiworiatrd l'n-m Ian.'rt Win-) WASHINGTON, April 23. Dis covery of a "fatty" acid which may have far reaching effect In science's search for a tuberculosis cure was reported today to the academy of sciences. Tlie acid, a chemical substance which Is almost a solid at certain temperatures, Induces the growth of tubercles when Injected into normal animals. It may be the root of tuberculosis and a study of its formation in human cells and Its activity may provide a new angle of attack against the dis ease. The finding Is the result of re search In Rockefeller institute by Dr. Florence R. Sabtn, only wo man member of the acudemy, Dr. C. A. iJoan, and Rr. C. F. Forkner. Tho work centers around the hope that a means of curing the diseflse may be found by studying the chemistry of the bacillus which acts as a parasite of one of the cells of the body. One part of the study Is to tear apart the component elements of the cell; another Is to produce these fractions In large quantities; and the third is to Bhow the effect of each In influencing the growth of Ihe tubercle bacillus. The chemical work In connec tion with the cooperative study is being done In Sterling laboratory, Yale university, by Professor T. U. Johnson and Dr. R. J. Anderson. The work of Dr. Sabin and her eo-workers has been to find the effect of the separated substances. One, the hitherto unknown "fatty acid, is such power that doses In troduced into the tissues of a rab bit easily produce reactions situ 11 to tuberculosis. The newly found arid has the power of causing rapid multipli cation of one strain of blood und tissue cells In the body to the ex clusion of all the other cells of which the body Is made up.
