The medical literature is replete with experimental investigations concerning the production of iritis by the administration of various bacterial agents obtained from multiple body foci, through various routes of administration. Most of the experimental workers hopefully allied themselves in their research with the attractive theory of Rosenow² (1915), viz., that bacteria have a specific tendency to localize in certain tissues of the body, dependent on some peculiar inherent property, and based their studies on this concept. However, this present work is more especially concerned with the particular role of dental sepsis in the production of iritis experimentally.
