When DR.. Salmon rose 20 make his re-
port on animals diseases and food. he
received an ovation which was repeated
at the conclusion of his remarks. An
interesting discussion followed.
Animal Infection.
In the course Of his remarks DIR. Sal
mon said that the evidence az hand
based on clinical and experimental tests
proved concIusively that bovine tuber-
culus was a factor in human tubercu-
losis. and measures should be enforced
60 prevent the spread Of the disease
from animals to man.
The source OF milk supply received at
tention in his report. and he said: III
will require much work to decide with
even approximate accuracy the proper
ton Of human tuberculosis caused by
animal Infection. but the fact that 2:
per cent of the cases in children in
vestigated by the German commission
and so per cent OF similar cases investi-
gated by De Schweinitz, of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, showed animal in
lection is sufficient to prove the neces-
sity for measures to be taken and en-.
forced TO guard against infection
through milk.
Some observations upon the identity
OF human and bovine tuberculosis were
given by DR. Jesus Chico, Guanajuato
Mexico. The paper was discussed by
DR.. Carlos J. Finley, Havana, Cuba, and
number of others
