East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-07-07

reau Of animal industry i'm the north
west, created somewhat Of sensa-
ton this morning, when in response
TO an invitation to tell of his expert
ence with bovine tuberculosis, de-
clared that bovine tubercular baccili
were transformed into human tuber-
cular baccilli after remaining in the
human body a certain length of time.
He quoted statistics from observa-
tions made by DIR. Parks of New
York city, to substantiate his theory.
DR.. Mcclure created even more of a
sensation when he declared that
more cases of tuberculosis in chick
ems were being reported from Ore
gon than from any other state in the
union. He insisted that tuberculosis
was inter-communicable between the
different kinds of animals and birds,
stating that in many instances in this
state they had found tubercular chick
ems and hogs where the cows were
found infected with tuberculosis and
that in one instance they had found
the family, the chickens, the hogs,
the cows and the turkeys all infected
with the dread disease.
Before adjournment this noon. DR..

near Portland and president of the

the thanks of the visiting physicians
for the treatment they had received
in Pendleton. He closed by inviting

the state association in Portland.
