LONDON, June 3.-The royal COM
mission, appointed in August, 1901, to
investigate the connection between hu-
man and animal tuberculosis, has reach
ed certain conclusions embodied in an
ad interim report, which in effect re-
Iutes Prof. Nochs much-discussed
theory that tuberculosis cannot be
communicated by animals to human be-
ings.
The commissioners attacked the prob
lem eXperimentally instead Of beginning
by collecting opinions. and their main
conclusion is thus EXPRESSED:
we nave most carefully compared
the tuberculosis set up in bovine ami
mals by material of human origin with
that set up in bovine animals by ma
terial OF bovine origin. and so far have
round the one, both in its broad general
features and in its finer astrological de-
tails' identical with the other.
