  The 
  experimental 
  inoculations 
  of 
  cattle 
  with 
  sputum 
  by 
  T. 
  Smitli, 
  

   Kruse, 
  and 
  Adami 
  showed 
  a 
  decided 
  lack 
  of 
  potency 
  in 
  the 
  bovine 
  

   system, 
  but 
  (1) 
  they 
  do 
  not 
  show 
  that 
  the 
  germ 
  at 
  once 
  perishes 
  

   in 
  the 
  system 
  of 
  cattle; 
  (2) 
  they 
  do 
  not 
  prove 
  that 
  this 
  germ, 
  if 
  

   returned 
  from 
  the 
  ox 
  to 
  man, 
  would 
  prove 
  less 
  patlrogenixj 
  than 
  

   if 
  carried 
  from 
  man 
  to 
  man 
  -without 
  the 
  intervention 
  of 
  the 
  ox. 
  

   (3) 
  The 
  observations 
  of 
  Bollinger, 
  Bamngarten, 
  and 
  Crookshank 
  

   show 
  that 
  under 
  certain 
  conditions 
  the 
  sputum 
  bacillus 
  can 
  and 
  

   does 
  produce 
  generalized 
  tuberculosis 
  in 
  cattle.

  Any

  of 
  th-e 
  germ 
  when

   is 
  no

  this 
  germ, 
  or 
  the 
  slightly 
  modified 
  germ 
  of 
  

   casual 
  bovine 
  tuberculosis, 
  will 
  prove

  Cases 
  of 
  infection 
  of 
  man 
  from 
  ox. 
  Tscherning 
  of 
  Copen- 
  

   hagen, 
  attended 
  a 
  young 
  veterinarian 
  who 
  had 
  cut 
  his 
  finger 
  in 
  

   dissecting 
  a 
  tuberculous 
  cow. 
  The 
  skin 
  wound 
  healed 
  in 
  three 
  

   weeks, 
  but 
  a 
  subcutaneous 
  swelling 
  persisted, 
  an 
  ulcer 
  formed, 
  and 
  

   a 
  tuberculous 
  mass 
  containing 
  bacilli 
  was 
  removed. 
  ISTo 
  secondary 
  

   tubercles 
  formed.^^ 
  A 
  parallel 
  case 
  occurred 
  to 
  a 
  prominent 
  

   American 
  veterinarian. 
  The 
  diseased 
  tissue 
  was 
  excised 
  and 
  the 
  

   bacilli 
  identified 
  by 
  the 
  bacteriologist 
  of 
  the 
  university 
  with 
  

   which 
  the 
  patient 
  was 
  connected, 
  and 
  a 
  permanent 
  recovery 
  ensued. 
  

  

  PfeifF 
  of 
  Weimar, 
  attended 
  a 
  veterinarian 
  who 
  had 
  been 
  simi- 
  

   larly 
  inoculated 
  from 
  a 
  tuberculous 
  cow. 
  The 
  patient, 
  aged 
  34 
  

   years, 
  had 
  a 
  good 
  constitution 
  and 
  no 
  tuberculous 
  taint. 
  The 
  cuta- 
  

   neous 
  lesion 
  healed, 
  but 
  six 
  months 
  later 
  there 
  was 
  tuberculosis 
  in 
  

   the 
  cicatrix; 
  pulmonary 
  tuberculosis 
  followed, 
  and 
  the 
  patient 
  died
