    Several serlogical experiments were carried out to establish a serum reaction specific to epidemic hemorrhagic fever in man.
    The results were as follows:
    1. Unchanging low precipitating antibody titers in patient sera against supernatant fluid of emulsion of liver released from deceased patient by autopsy, suggested that the reactiossn failed to be a useful method for the diagnosis.
    2. The Weil-Felix antibodies in sera from patients in pyrexial stage, to the Proteus vulgaris OX-19, OX-2, and OX-K strains, were also so low that the Weil-Felix reaction was not specific for the disease.
    3. Finally, a skin test with antigenic materials prepared by filtrating the liver emulsion in physiological saline solution (as well Ringer's solution or Tyrode's solution) with Chamberland filter, was performed and it was demonstrated that this reaction was useful to differentiate the patients from the controls with other diseases after 24 hours and therefore available for the diagnostic purposes.

    A sixty-nine-year-old man with congenital ventricular septal defect was admitted to the hospital because of general fatigue and intermittent fever persisting for about ten months. He was diagnosed as subacute bacterial endocarditis and treated successfully with tetracycline and cephaloridin.
    Gram-positive short rods were isolated from the peripheral blood. The morphological findings and biochemical properties are identical with those of Eubacterium Ventriosum.
    It is usually found in small intestine of children and in the mucous membrane of the oral cavity of adults, and clinically isolated from pulmonary abscess, purulent pleuritis, cervitis, abscess of oral cavity, or blood of patients with subacute bacterial endocarditis.
    The isolates from the patient are small, straight, gram-positive, nonmotile, and anerobic rods which have round ends and an ampulla at mid-portion, and make no spore. As to the biochemical properties, they produce no gas, do not liquefy gelatin, do not coagulate milk, and ferment glucose, saccharose, maltose, fructose, and galactose, but do not mannitol and glycerol.
    Furthermore, they do not reduce nitrate, and fail to form hydrogen sulfide and indole.
