A report has been made previously by Abe, a member on the staff of our laboratory, that the stimulation of the reticulo-endothelial system by successive spa bathing is the result of a nonspecific stimulating action produced by spa bathing.The author attempted the present experiment with a view to obtain some information on the mechanism of the effect of spa bathing on vital resistance.In Section I are described the following experiments: A given quantity of coli bacilli was injected into the auricle vein of a rabbit.The effect of spa bathing immediately after injection on the function of the liver to seize bacilli and that on its function to counteract bacilli were observed by counting the number of bacillus colonies in the liver 10 minutes, 2 hours and a half, and 4 hours after injection respectively.In Section II, the effect of spa bathing on the functions of the liver was studied indirectly by counting the number of bacillus colonies in the blood 4 times, namely, 10, 20, 30 and 40 minutes after injection of coli bacilli.In Section III, the effect of spa bathing on the antiseptic function of the blood was observed in the rabbit by the Jinnai's method.In the experiments described in Sections I and II, it was found that the single bathing and 7-day successive bathing in "Genzo-yu" (acid vitriol spring) were most effective in producing the stimulation of the function of the liver to seize bacilli and that to counteract bacilli, followed by "Unagi-yu" (alcaline muriated sulphur spring) and the spring in our laboratory (muriated saline spring).The stimulation of the function of the liver to counteract bacilli was pronouncely observed in the bathing in "Unagi-yu".In the experiments described in Section III, it was found that 15-day successive bathing in "Genzo-yu" greatly stimulated the anti-septic function of the circulating blood, while that in "Unagi-yu" slowly and slightly stimulated it.It has been made clear from the above observations that the spa bathing plays an important role of intensifying the protective action of the living body against infection, by stimulating the protective action against infection of the liver to seize or to counteract bacilli and by intensifying the antiseptic function of the circulating blood.Such action usually runs parallel with the nonspecific stimulating action of the spring, which is most intensive in "Genzo-yu", followed by "Unagi-yu".These actions and stimulations observed are suggestive of the fact that in the case of healthy person, spa bathing is not only of use in strengthening his resistance against infection from outside, but also effective in therapy of infection; they endorse the therapeutic utility of spa.
