Another Consumption Theory.
From Current Literature.

London physician. DR.. w. Picket Tur-
ner who has made first-hand study of the
disease for many years. advances the the
ory that the medical world is attacking the
problem of consumption by an utterly false
route. His view, briefly stated. is that tu-
berculosis is an animal disease primarily de-
rived. In all cases, from cattle. 1t belongs,
he says, to the mycotic group of diseases,
diseases In which the original source of in
lection is plant Bovine cattle derive
tuberculosis from timothy and other allied
grasses by natural affinity. Man acquires
the disease by ingestion or incubation,
never by inhalation. 1t is not hereditary,
neither is there any predisposition to it In
the Individual. The bacillus in state OF
nature is a saprophyte. feeding on decay
of the vegetable world. But the bacillus
becomes pathogenic-capable of causing
disease-in cattle when they are deprived
of actinism or the property of the chemical
rays in sunlight 1t would, if all this be
true become reasonable to assume that Dy
restoring actinism to cattle. the bacillus
would again become a saprophyte, in which
case consumption would be extirpated.

Government Publications.
rom the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
No other country is so prodigal as the
United States in the printing of public doc
uments. and it Is the only country which
has a system of practically free distribu-
ton. William S. Rossiter in a recent num-
her of the Atlantic Monthly presents some
statistics and comment which emphasize an
abuse of governmental functions with re-
spect to the issuance of public documents
that calls for radical corrective. In 1895
the number of publications issued by the
federal departments was 500, representing
a total of 80 ,284 pages. In 1905 the output
was 49, containing III, 039 pages. Ob-
yiously the volume of official publications
has reached such enormous proportions un-
der present conditions that 1t is burden
upon the resources of the government.
BY the act of 1895 Congress authorized
the sale of public documents at a moderate
price but the system has proved failure
as a financial venture. and will not be sue
cessful as long as the public can secure
the volumes from senators and representa-
tives gratis. The sale Of documents during
the fiscal year 1905 yielded only $13, 400.
while the division having charge Of the
distribution to libraries and by sale to the
public cost the government $4,000, with

Hereditary Chorea.

From the Medical Record.
Clarence King calls attention to the rarity
of hereditary chorea. Little is known Of its
etiology beyond the very positive influence
of heredity. The knowledge OF its pathol-
ogy Is far more unsatisfactory than is that
Of its etiology. No constant lesion either
gross or microscopic has been found. How
ever. there has been established the pres
ence Of an organic lesion In or near the mo-
tor centers. tending to unbalance the nor
NAL functional activity OF those centers.
The writer gives a detailed description OF
the movements characteristic OF this affec-
ton. The general health of the patient
seems to be but little interfered with for
years. The sexual function seems to be but
little disturbed. The duration OF hereditary
chorea is generally about twenty or twenty
five years. AS to the treatment, nothing
yet has been found of permanent benefit.
The only success comes from treating inter-
current complications as they arise.
