first address on the subject of tuberculin
incubation was made by Dr. e. L. Trudeau
of Saranac, n. Y. who Is one of the vet
eran fighters in the crusade against the
great white plague. He said that the pre-
yentive incubation had done well with ami
mails, and there was reason to believe that
the same results would ultimately be ac-
complished in treating human beings. Dr.
Simon Flexner of New York spoke on Inn
munity from tuberculosis" His remarks
were along the same line.
He told Of the artificial immunization
methods used among cattle, which, he
said, had been successful in reducing the
danger to persons. Young animals treat
ed with weak cultures of the tubercular
germs were usually healthy, and the dan
ger from this course was reduced to min
imum, he said.
This treatment in the human family, he
said. had not yet been undertaken, but de-
veiopments along this line may be ex-
pected. He urged improved methods in
the living conditions among the poorer
classes and the segregation Of patients af-
fected with the disease in hospitals.

Urgent Necessity of Passing Bill.

The sealer of weights and measures has
called the attention of the Commissioners
to the urgent necessity of passing the bill
for the regulation of the sale of produce
provisions and other commodities and to
prohibit the sale of the same at a weight
less than the true standard weight and
measure.
At present, Mr.. Haskell says, there is no
authority given to his department to pro-
hibit the sale of -four, oils and gasoline at
a short weight and short measure. The
bin which he asks the Commissioners to
use every means to have enacted was in
troduced in the House last January.
