anu WHICH hlOne Gun cause buDor-
culosis. IT, does not exist in the
body of mea or animals in health.
Without the entrance of this par
ticular germ into the human body
from without, tuberculosis cannot
develop in it. Without the trans
mission Of this germ in some way
or other in living condition from
the sick to the well, tuberculosis
cannot spread. In the life story
of this tiny germ lie both the po-
tency for mischief which we de-
plore and the secret Of our release
from It's bondage. The tubercle
bacillus is a little colorless rodlike
plant, SO small that even many
thousands of them piled together
would make a heap still far too
small to be visible to the naked
eye. 1t does not flourish equally
we'll in the bodies Of all human
beings.
When once it gains lodgment in
body suited to its growth it null
tiplies slowly, each germ dividing
and sub-dividing, taking from the
tissues material for it's growth, and
returning to them certain subtle
poisons which it sets free. The
action of the tubercle bacillus is
peculiar in that it stimulates the
cells of the body, wherever it may
lodge and grow, to the formation
of little masses of new tissue, which
we call tubercles. These tuber-
cles are as a rule short-lived, and
if the disease progresses, tend to
disintegrate. If the tubercles have
grown in such situations as make
this possible, as in the intestinal
canal or the lungs, the disintegrat-
ed or broken-down material, often
containing myriads of the living
germs, may be cast off from the
body. In tuberculosis OF the lungs
or consumption, this waste mate
rial is thrown off with the sputum.
While almost any part of the body
may be affected, tuberculosis of
the lungs is by far the most COM
mon form of the disease. 1t fol-
lows from what has been said that
the only way in which we can ac-
quire tuberculosis is by getting
into our bodies tubercle bacilli
from tubercular men or animals.
The only animals liable to convey
the disease to man are tuberculer
cattle and these through the use
Of either meat or milk. The dan
ger from the use of uncooked meat
or the unboiled milk from tuber-
cular cattle, is real and serious.
We have learned in the past
few years one fact about tubercu-
losis which is of incaIculable COM
fort to many, and that is that the
disease Is not hereditary. What
has been through all these years
regarded as the strongest proof of
the hereditary transmission of tub
erculosis-namely, the occurrence
Of the disease in several members
of the same households, in the
the new light, simply the result OF
household infection-the breath.
ing of air especially liable to con-
tain the noxious germs, or their
entrance in some other way into
the bodies of persons especially
sensitive to their presence. 1 dc
not mean to imply that under no
conditions can the tubercle baeil-
lus be transmitted from the moth
or to the child before it's birth.
In few instances this is believed
to have happened. But its occur
renee is so extremely ihfrequent
that it may be regarded as acei.
dent, aud Of no serious Importance
from our present point of view.
