Lioht on Cause of tuberculosis.

The sixth annual meeting of the Ma
tional Association for the Study INT
Prevention of tuberculosis was held
In Washington on May 2 and 3. Among
the most interesting papers was n
by DR.. William H. Park, the famous
pathologist and head of the labora-
tories of the New York city depart
ment of health. Doctor Park contended
that pulmonary tuberculosis is very
rarely, if ever, caused by infection
from bovine sources, such as the
drinking of milk or the eating of meat.
tuberculosis of the stomach and inter
nal organs which compose only about
ten per cent. of the sickness from
this disease. are often caused by drink
ing or eating infected matter Doctor
Park s~ubstantiated his conclusions by
showing the results of years OF inves-
figation and examination of PATHOLOGY
cal specimens. His conclusions are
substantially those reached by DR..
