KOCH'S VIEWS UPHELD
HUMAN CONSUMPTION NOT WHOLLY
DUE TO BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS.
Report of a German Health Commits
sion on Experiments Made by
InocuIating Calves.

BERLIN, July 9.-The Berlin Medical So
ciety assembled yesterday evening TO hear
Prof. Kossel, of the Imperial Health Office,
report the results of the prolonged expert
ments of the tuberculosis commission In
injecting calves with human tuberculosis.
Prof. Koch's observations, prior to the
celebrated London address, caused the
health Office to appoint the commission to
make systematic experiments. Yesterday S
paper was in the nature of a preliminary
report. The commissions Investigations
cover three forms of introducing tu r
Gle bacilli in calves-first, subcutaneous in
lection; second, in food; and, third, by In
halation The preliminary report covers
only the first form, but the experiments
with the other forms continue.
The commission decided to attempt the
inoculation of calves. not with matter
taken directly from human victims, but
with cultures made therefrom. The ex-
perimentation covered thirty-nine separate
cultures. twenty-three from adults and six
teen from children The results Were that
nineteen calves subcutaneousfy treated 6id
not show the slightest effect, nine showed,
after four months, the slightest changes OF
condition, and seven showed more marked
syrnptoms but the propagation OF tuber-
culosis in the body did not occur. On the
other hand, four inoculations from tuber-
cuIosed children infected calves with a dis
ease which resembled a weak type OF ami
NAL consumption and two of this number
died from tuberculosis.
The commission summarizes as Ion0Ws.
.oThe series of experiments strengthens
Prof Koch's view that animal consumption
as the cause of human consumption does
not play the role generally attributed TO IT.
but definitive judgment requires iurther eA-
perimentation.
In the discussion which followed Prof.
Orth. the late Prof. Virchow's successor,
strongly combated the view thaI human iclli,a =
and animal consumption were dissimilar
and nontransferable.
