| The next number on the program was the
| Granville T. Conn. president of the state
board of health of New Hampshire. DIR.
| Conn's train was late. however, and he was
not in the room when his name was called.
Two other papers that We're on the pro-
gram to follow that of DIR. Conn dealt with
| the same subject and We're practically sup
| Elemental to the first paper.
DR.. Salmon's Paper.
The reading of these was deferred also.
| and the paper of DIR. D. F.. Salmon. chief of
| the bureau of animal industry of the De-
! partment of Agriculture, on the disea seS of
/ animals and their relation to food. was
| called. DR.. Salmon handled his subject in
| a technical manner which was understood
| only by those scientists who had advanced
| as far in the study of animal diseases as
| the speaker. His language was plain, how
| ever, when he spoke of tuberculosis in cat
| tie and the danger resulting to human be-
| ingS therefrom. He said that measures
| should be taken in every state or municipal
| ity to prevent the spread Of this disease.
! The source of the milk supply should be
| carefully attended to, he said 1t would re-
| quire much work to determine. even ap-
| proximatey, the proportion of human tu-
| berculoSis caused by animals The fact
| that % per cent of the cases in children
! found by the Investigators of the German
| commission and 30 per cent of cases found
by DeSclWpinitZ of the bureau of animal
| industry showed animal infection would
seem to prove the necessity for the adop-
|. ton of measures against infection. DR..
Salmon spoke of the possible transmission
of the disease through milk. and of the
remedy to be found in the sterilization of
the milk
DR.. John Guiteras of Havana, Cuba. the
distinguished yellow fever expert, asked
why it was, If sterilization killed the germs.
many of the people of Cuba We're infected.
because all Cubans boil milk before using
it.
Dr. Findlay of the marine hospital sery-
ice, who made a special study of tubcrcu-
losis while stationed in Cuba, stated that
he did not believe the disease to bn infec-
tous or hereditary, and proceeded to prove
his theory. He said tuberculosis was the
result of wrong living. and when this evil
was corrected the proper cure would be
found. Dr. Jesus Chico of Mexico City also
took part in the discussion which contin-
ued for some time after DIR. Salmon had
concluded his remarks
DIR. J. N. Hurry, secretary of the state
board of health of Indiana, called upon
to read a paper on the transportation of
persons sick with transmisSible diseases.
He was strongly opposed to permitting per
sons suffering from tuberculosis to travel
in with healthy persons. He spoke
also of the dangers attendant to ling
convalescent typhoid patients from travel
ing without safeguards to protect fellow
passengers. Dr. Juan Brena of Zacatecas
Mexico told of the sanitation in the
republic of Mexico and the mo ming session
was brought to close by few remarks
on the preparation of vaccine virus by DIR.
John F.. Anderson of the marine hospital
service.
