PROF. KOCH ON TUBERCULOSIS.

Prof. Koch's declaration that tuber-
culosis from cattle is not transmissi-
BILE Is likely to arouse much Interest
In the world of medicine, and proof of
his assertion will be awaited.
The British congress On tuberculo-
sis, before which body Prof. Koch
made his assertion, was startled by
the eminent scientists announcement,
as II has been generally accepted that
tuberculosis from cattle IL transmits
sible, In fact this form Of transmit
ting consumption has heretofore been
considered both general and deadly,
and stringent measures have been
adopted against II, both In this country
and In Europe. In the United States,
laws have been passed calling for the
condemnation OF all beef showing ev-
licences OF tuberculosis, and many
states have made regulations proyid-
ing for strict inspection OF milk. Doc
tors have insisted that dairy cattle
should be killed II showing signs OF
tuberculosis. and medical journals
have quoted many instances Of con
sumption being contracted presuma'
bly, through the use OF infected milk.
