PHASES OF. CONSUMPTION
NEW-YoRK ACADEMY OF MEDICINE DIS
CUSSES HUMAN AND BOVINE
TUBERCULOSIS

The Nev-Yors Academy Of Medicine a. g..
meeting last night, held at No II West Forty
third-st discussed tuberculosis In a paper en-
titled Remarks on the British Congress on Tn
berculosis and the Prevention Of tuberculosis
Dr. z. G. Janeway gave a synopsis Of the discus
sion of tuberculosis at the London meeting ana
discussed from his own experience and study pre-.
ventative practice in the disease He closed his
address by saying that the endowment Of tnsti
tutons for the treatment of the poor afflicted with
the disease offered great field for private philan-
thropy and the attention OF the State.
The principal address Of the evening was de-
livered by d. Theobald Smith. professor Of CON-
parative path 0logy in the Harvard Experimeutal
School who was the first bacteriologist to demon
strate by incubation Of cattle with human tuber-
cular oacilH the existence Of separate bovine and
human baciIH
Dr. Smith declared that he had seen no reason
for Withdrawing from the position which he first
assumed on the subject Of his work While he did
believe the theory OF indiscrimaate transfer Of
bovine tubercuar baciIli to De sound. yet he
could not coincide with Professor Koch in the
opinion that such transfer could not be.
Drs " NJ Biggs and w H Clark also discussed
the portion of the symposium opened by Dr. Smith
on the difference between bovine and human tuber-
culosis.
On the subject Of the origin Of tuberculosis from
cows milk, DR.. A Jacob pointed a number OF
cases in which death from intestinal and other
tuberculosis had resulted in cases where milk was
used which came from cattle infected with bovine
tuberculosis. The comparative scarcity Of these
cases he said, should not throw discredit on their
significance. but their existence should demonstrate
the need of careful safeguards against the disease
or1gina ting from such sources. Dr. Jacohi advo-
Gated the thorough insoection Of milk and the
condition of dairy cattle means Of gaining this
end.
DR.. William H Park told OF an experiment he
had made recently in which four calves were
treated with the daily output OF tuberculosis
sputUm from ST. Luke's Hospital. and despite the
great amount of human bacilH with which thew
were dosed. when three Of the calves were killed
few weeks ago, trace Of infection could be
found. From this DR.. Park said he inferred in So
far the circumstances Of the experiment justi-
fed that while bovine tuberculosis may be trans
ferred to man, human tubercular bacih have no
effect cattle.
One speaker inferred from the fact that while the
tenement house districts Of this city show from
10 70 70 per OF tuberculosis. while the other
districts show only from Il to I per cent. the
poorer milk used in the former sections might be
responsible through bovine tubercular bacilli for
the greater percentage OF tuberculosis.
The annual election Of the academy was held
officers being chosen for the coming year as fol-
lows: Virgil P. Gibney, vice e-president; Joseph d
Bryant. trustee; Walter L Carr, member COMMITTEES
