LIFE FOB SCIENCE.
EXTRAORDINARY AoT OF MISS EMMA
N, KING.
Inoculated with Deadly Germs, to Dis.
prove the Theories Of koch-Ons
of the Most Notable Cases Of the
Kind.

BY an act of martyrdom in the cause
of science, Miss Emma H. King, New
York trained nurse, drew upon herself
the gaze OF the world. The medical
fraternity is particularly interested in
her case. because 1t demonstrates
whether tuberculosis can be transmit
ted from COW to human being.
DIR. Koch, the eminent German ad-
mitted to be an authority on diseases
OF the lungs. created something Of a
sensation last summer by the an
nouncement that bovine tuberculosis
is incommunicable to human beings.
This assertion was contrary to the gen.
orally accepted belief. So well ground
ed was the Idea that tubercular germs
In COW could affect person, that by
order Of the government, thousands Of
head of cattle thus affected have from
time to time been killed, in order that
the disease might not be transmitted to
persons drinking their milk. Accord
ing to Koch's theories. these precau-
tions were unnecessary and a waste
OF really valuable COW flesh.
skspticai Brookiynite's E.psrlmsats.
Among those who doubied the truth
Of the German scientists assertion was
DIR. George d. Barney OF Brooklyn. He
set out to demonstrate It's accuracy or
falsity, as the case might prove to be.
Purchasing healthy COW. he injected
broth containing tubercle from hui
man being into the animal. The COW
was soon in the advanced stages Of the
disease. Having proved DR.. Koch's
theory would not work backward, his
next thought was to demonstrate that
1t was not tenable as originally stated.
At this time he was treating Miss King
for tonsilitis and, on one occasion,
mentioned the fact that he was looking
for subject upon whom to make the
experiment. Miss King was much In
terested and when assured by the doc
tor that there was really no danger at
