The suppression and prevention of tuberculosis of cattle and 

 its relation to human consumption, -I. Xelsox [Xen- Jcrsci/ St((s. 

 Bid. lis, pp. 21). — This is a brief compiled popular a(;couiit, inakin.i? 

 note of the death rate from consiimptiou (human and bovine) in .several 

 States and in several European countries, and describing tuberculosis, 

 its causes, its degrees, its advanced sj'niptoms, tho tuberculin test, the 

 Danish method of eradication by careful isolation, and wliat to do to 

 keep the germs from developing in the human body. Milk is promi- 

 nently noted as a source of infection. 



Finally experiments and other evidence are adduced to illustrate the

Tapeworms of poultry, C. W. Stiles and A. Hassall {U. S. 

 Dept. Agr., Bureau of Animal Industry Bui. 1:2, pp. 88,Jifjs. :>0G). — This 

 bulletin is made up of a "Eeport npon the present knowledge of the 

 tapeworms of poultry" by C. W. Stiles and a "Ijibliograijhy of the 

 tapeworms of poultry" by A. Hassall. The first ])()rtion treats of 

 the scientitic and economic phases of the subject. An analytical key 

 to the families and genera and the various species, diagnostically dis- 

 cussed, is given. Tables showing the relations of i»arasitesof ditVerent 

 domestic fowls and wihl birds are also given. Tlie methods of treat- 

 ment and life history and sources of infection are noted, and the sub- 

 ject of prevention and remedial treatment fully discussed. Among the 

 original experiments described those made to determine the Aalue of 

 turpentine as a remedy may be noted. Turpentine in diti'erent doses 

 was given to chickens and found to be injurious when given in doses 

 as great as i oz. (15 cc. w about 1 tablespoon ful). Of 32 (;hickens giveu 

 such a dose, 1 died. In another case where 25 cc. and in another where 

 30 cc. was used, the animals were very sick but recovered. It is con- 

 cluded that it will be safe to dose with from 1 to 3 tablespoonfuls of 

 tm-pentine according to the size of the chicken. Some 33 species of 

 tapeworms are treated. 



in the second ])ortiou of the Inilletin, Mr. Hassall enumerates the 

 titles of 150 papers that have appeared since 1727.
