BAD BEEF TO EAT.
The Food Inspector Not a
Competent Man.
so SAYS DR.. c. CUSHING.
The MIX Is AduIterated and Tuber-
cui0Sis AbOunds in Ii as Well
as i'm Beef.

The Health Department got raking over
last night by Professor Clinton Cushing
during lecture at the Cooper Medical
Institute.
The subject under discussion was 1.-THE
Cause and Prevention o.! Consumption.
and in introducing the question the lecturer
explained the manner Of infection from
bacillus tubercle. which has been proven
beyond doubt the sole cause Of tubercu-
losis or consumption. This disease is
claimed to be the cause of more deaths than
all the wars and famines the world has seen,
yet 1t has been within the last decade that
the true cause of the sc purge has been dis
covered, and it can be prevented as we'll as
the smallpox or any other infectious dis
ease. 1t has been proven conclusively that
the disease is contagious and not hereditary
as is generally supposed, and the chief
cause OF Infection Is from tuberculosis
infected meats and milks.
since these discoveries were made, said
the lecturer. Germany as well as other Euro
pean countries has introduced a thorough
food inspection system. In America there
Is practically no law for the inspection OF
meats, and in San Francisco there IS only
one INSPECTOR for all the meats sold In the
shops in the city Of nearly 100000 inhabi-
tanIS. mat inspector IS not competent
official. He has no knowledge of pathology
or the use of the microscope, aud for all
practical purposes his Office is useless so far
as the protection of the public goes in the
matter OF tuburcuous beef.
one of the mem bers of the Board OF
Health bad taken up the matter of better
inspection of the milk supply Of this city
and found every sample diluted with water
aud containing foreign matter as we'll as
containing tubercle bacilli in large guam
titles. The lecturer had taken four separate
samples Of milk. purchased from diaries
supplying the city, and 10 per cent OF the
SAMPLES contained true tubercle bacllii.
The best remedy 10 prevent the spread OF
the disease that could be proposed, said the
lecturer, was severance Of the Board of
Health from the political machine.
Prompt action should be taken. consider
ing the recent discoveries in this line. aud
apply C. The Legislature TO the enactment
OF law for the thorough inspection Of all
animals used for food by educated and conf
peteRt men, who shall be State off 'ers, and
al condemned meats should be promptly
burned. The cost of such meat destroyed
would not be tenth of that expended for
the maintenance of consumptiye patients.
The parsiinony of the city government in
the matter of funds for preventing the
spread of disease or Of at least lessening its
dangers is wonderful, ana with the present
officials only the most glazing cases OF dis
ease are recognized while others more
harmful are allowed to carry contamination
from tile butchers stalls.

The eleventh and twelfth rounds were
evenly contested, but in the thirteenth Gal
iagher made matters look very serious for
the Australian. He met the latter in the
center of the ring and instead of waiting,
as In previous rounds, for Treacy to open
the game Gallagher forced the fighting and
banged Treacy all round the ring. The

dozen lefts on the mouth and left cheek.
The Oakland champion dashed at his wiry
opponent and as the latter drew back Gal
lagher swung his right and his glove landed
with full force on Treacy's mouth. The

clinched with Treacy, but was too much
