HINTS

Few people realize how dangerous
the form Of tuberculosis found In cows
is to human beings.
The late Prof. Koch told the Inter.
national Congress on tuberculosis in
London in 1901, that tuberculosis as
found In the COW was harmless to man.
Nearly all scientists present, in
Guiding Koch's own co-workers
thought the statement could be veri
fed and It was promptly challenged
but as It had come from the lips Of the
highest recognized authority on tuber
culosis-in fact, the discoverer of the
germ of tuberculosis-it demanded a
more rigid investigation than had been
made in the past.
International commissions were an
pointed to do this research work and
report to the congress. The investi
cations were extensive. covering thou
sands Of cases in the various countries.
Tho most convincing reports pre-
scented were those by Prof. Theobald
Smith, OF Harvard, and DR.. w. H
Parks, director of the public health
laboratories in New York City.
The conclusions were that from %
to 26 per cent. of all cases OF tubercu.
losis In persons under 1G years OF age
were bovine in type or in other words
the same form OF tuberculosis that Is
found In the COW and the tubercle
germ was transmitted to children
through milk or milk products.
The findings Of the British Royal
commission and the Geraman commits.

country and have since been abundant.
