Note 61 — COMPARATIVE EXPERIMENTS.
Reading edition
After this experiment had been completed, a fresh-filtered infusion of turnip was placed in the same flask (having the neck open just beyond its second bending), and after having been boiled for a few minutes it was immersed in the same water-bath. This fluid became turbid in thirty-six hours, and was then found to contain multitudes of Bacteria; and the characteristic odour of the turnip infusion was still appreciable.
