Herewith is presented enc Of the most
Interesting communications relative to the
much discussed matter Of tuberculin test
ing Of dairy COWS.
II is the comment Of Dr. George II.
Burroughs, Broad street, one of the best
known physicians in eastern Connecticut
The statements of "a well known citi-
zen" mentioned in the Danielson news
one day this week should not go unchal-
lenged.
While we admit that the tuberculin test
in advanced cases is not infaAgble, the
statements In advanced cases there is
about an even chance of reaction is an ex-
aggeration. Even If it were true would
there be no advantage in getting rid of
one-haf Of the cases of advanced tuber
1-losis IN cows which supply milk to an
lnsus2ecting public

sstimable value in the diagnosis of the dis
Ease in the early stages. In advanced
tuberculosis the tuberculin test IS not
needed as a physical examination of the
cow by a veterinarian wiM show the
presence Of the disease.
The statement that the chance Of con-
tracting tuberculosis from milk from tn
7erculous cows is almost negligible is not
rue The British Royal Commission
found that oue-tfird of the cases of tUber
culosis in children under five years Of age
were due 20 bovine bacillus.
