The members OF the Society OF Medical In
risprudence and State Medicine turned out I'm
good force OF their rooms. II West 3lst street.
last night TO hear Dr.. ]. q. Johnson's paper on
Protective Legislation relative to tuberculosis
and typhoid fever" DIR. johnson said that
there could be no doubt but that the bacillus
or germ theory OF disease as applied TO tuber-
culosis and typhoid fever were true. He de-
ciared that the knickerbocker Ice Co., which
supplied New York and BROOKLYN with ice eot
It's Ice from the Hudson River, sight miles be-
low Albany, where the sewage from the cities
OF Albany and Troy Via 90 thick that it hoated
ashore. All the disease germs of the leo OO0
people in Albany and Troy collected there.
Dr. johnson said that drinking the milk ana
eating the moat of diseased cows were among
the most fruitful sources of consumption and
typhoid FOYER ia man. The cattle most prone
to tuberculosis were dairy cattle Chickens
and the different game birds were filed with
the germs OF tuberculosis. Eating meat cooked
rare was extremely dangerous
DIR. Johnson created a good deal Of merri-
ment by ridiculing the statements OF those who
profess disbelief in the germ theory. He said:
III there Is any doubt Of the ravages of the
bacillus. there Is an abundance of human mn-
terial 10 experiment upon. Why should we
waste our Criminals? We have an unfailing
supply OF murderers. The Old World has for
years been opening its prison houses and ship
ping " criminals and ticket-of-leaye men 20
this country. murderer is legally dead His
life is the penalty OF his misdeeds. and Vet
people have a morbid dislike to hanging him.
They are trying TO find some easier way of ex-
terminating men. In this state they are going
TO try electricity method which is not GER
tain unless you happen TO hang the man 70 an
electric light wire. Let Us be humane TO these
murderers-let us feed them with raw roast
beef with blood gravy, and with birds and
game cooked is now 30 extraordinarily lee
skilled experts select the consumptive animal,
so that they no longer go on the tables Of our
people. Perhaps these murderers may thus
make the remnants OF their worthless lives OF
use to the community. BY proving the danger
Of allowing consumptive meat for food and
arousing the attention Of the people TO their
own danger, you may be able to overcome their
preiudices. ! respectfully suggest that this So
ciety should forward q bill 70 the legislature
requiring that condemned murderers should be
fed on such meat from consumptive animals ~
may be found for sale in our public markets,
cooked rare. and that this shall take the place
of the usual sentence Of death. It would be
effectual and saving 10 the country"
Those who follwed DIR. johnson In the dis
cussion made fun IN turn. DIR. Edward +.
Brush said that IL Dr. Johnson's statements
were true nearly everybody would have been
dead long ago. Not all the people who ate dis
eased meat got Infected. Lawyer Jno. H. Hol-
man observed that Dr. johnson during the
reading OF this paper, had taken copious
draughts OF ice water, which was no doubt
teeming with disease germs from Albany and
Troy. MIR. Holman proposed that the society
forward a bill 10 the legislature making mar
riayes between consumptves null and void,
and the issue OF such marriages incapable Of
inheriting. He declared that in this view the
evils which the community suffered from young
men kissing sweethearts who had consumptive
lungs was incalculable.
The meeting concluded with collation. the
main feature Of which was chicken salad
