VACCINATION FOR

Association Meeting

Usual Method of Transmission to

But From Man to

USE XRAY IN DIAGNOSIS

Washington, May 6.-Tuberculosis infec-
tion from bovine and other germs,
through human germs, was discussed at
length today at a meeting of the Medi-
cal Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of Tuberculosis, in third annual
session here. The question WAS not set
tied and the proposition was turned over
to a committee appointed 10 further
investigate this subject.
DR.. Charles Hunter Dunn of Boston
had for his subject, Recent Advances
in the knowledge of tuberculosis in Chill
dren." He said in early stages tubercu-
1osis did not affect the lungs as in the
cases of adults, but frequently remained
hidden in the internal glands in children
until an acute form of tuberculosis devel-
oped, pneumonia causing death. He de-
clared that children have no power Of
resistance against the acute outbreaks,
and that small babies showed no tendency
toward the healing of the LESSONS.
Coming to the sources of tubercular in
lection. he mentioned the various theo-
ries that it was due to dust or a moist
sputun. and said that while there was
truth in all of them, the commonest
source was house contagion from tubcr-
cular surroundings
In diagnosing latent forms of the dis
eases, he said the Xray was the most i'm
portant method
Finally he spoke upon the subject Of
immunizing a person against tubercu-
losis by means of vaccination.
He reviewed the progress that had been
adopted In that direction and said he be-
1ieved that human beings We're In a pretty
good state of natural resistance and he
held out hope of finding a vaccine to
make that resistance absolute.
Dr. Henry l.. X. Shaw of Albany, n.

Young Children" argued that the usual
method of transmission was through the
method of man to man and not through
milk The report of DIR. Flick dealt
largely with what had been done by the
national congress since it came into eX-
istence in 1889 in Paris. The report stated
that there had been raised $4,000 of a
proposed fund of 100000 for the scientific
and philanthropie congress. the enter
tainment of visiting delegates, and for
the best exhibits of objects in the crusade
against tuberculosis. etc.
The report adds that President Roose-
welt has expressed a feeling of sympathy
with the congress.

after an illness of but a few hours.
President Diaz and Mrs. Diaz and nu-

when the end came. Death was due
to pneumonia. The dead woman played
a prominent part in the history of the
republic and was loved by all classes.

which the committee particularly hung,
concerned the question: whether or not
he knew of any alleged union or organ
ization among the fertilizer manufactu-
ers?" Especial attention, also, was paid
to whether or not companies undersold
one another in the disposition of their
products.
BY these series of questions, all of which
are carefully recorded by a stenographer,
the committee hopes to derive an answer
to the allegations put forward on the trust
matter. Much stress is being put on
prices of various articles, etc. as a means
or getting at the net value of the whole.
