Tuberculosis Alike in Man and Cattle,
Prof. Behring Says.

BERLIN. April SO.-Advance sheets of
Professor Behring's forthcoming book on
tuberculosis in cattle are available here
to-day. He affirms that tuberculosis i'm
men and cattle is propagated by identical
bacilli and that the seeming differences be-
tween the human and the cattle baciln
result from the capacity Of the bacilli TO
accommodate themselves to the organism
in which they live. The writer explains
the process by which he reaches the con-
clusion that chemically and physiOlogically
the tubercule bacilh in man and cattle are
or the same species.
Professor Behring says he has success
fully infected cattle with the virus from
humans, producing thereby fatal animal
tuberculosis He also says he has discov-
cred a method Of rendering cattle immune
against tuberculosis. which is done by vac
chatting the cattle when they are young
This. he declares. TO be his greatest dis
covery, and says the method is In use on
farms at Marburg. He alluded 10 his meth
cd of inoculating cattle in his speech at
stockholm, when he was awarded one of
the Nobel prizes
