 Association : 



WHEREAS, It has pleased Divine Providence to remove from our midst our 

 late President, Dr. Edward G. Janeway, and 



WHEREAS, By his great diagnostic skill, and deep interest in all that apper- 

 tains to the anti-tuberculosis movement in this country, he has been of inval- 

 uable service to our cause; be it 



Resolved, That we the members of The National Association for the Study 

 and Prevention of Tuberculosis deeply deplore the loss of our late President, 

 who by his life and devotion to anti-tuberculosis work, should forever be an 

 example for us to follow. Be it further 



Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread on the minutes of the 

 Annual Meeting of The National Association for the Study and Prevention of 

 Tuberculosis, that a copy of them be transmitted by the Executive Secretary to 

 the family of the late Dr. Janeway, and also to the medical and lay press. 



WHEREAS, It has been demonstrated experimentally by bacteriologists of 

 high standing in this and other countries and by two governmental com- 

 missions, that the bovine tubercle bacillus causes serious and fatal tuberculosis 

 in human beings; and 



WHEREAS, Milk from tuberculous cattle appears to be the medium through 

 which transmission of bovine tuberculosis to human beings most commonly 

 takes place; be it ^(. 



Resolved, That The National Association for the Study and Prevention of 

 Tuberculosis recognizes the danger to mankind from tuberculosis of cattle; 

 and be it 



Resolved, That this Association recommends that all cows furnishing milk for 

 human consumption be subjected to the tuberculin tests, and that all animals 

 which react to this test be excluded from dairy herds; and be it further 



Resolved, That where these measures cannot be efficiently carried out, the 

 Association recommends the efficient pasteurization of milk as a safeguard 

 against the transmission of bovine tuberculosis to mankind. 



WHEREAS, The care of advanced cases of tuberculosis has been found from 

 experience to be particularly difficult in institutions located at a considerable 

 distance from the homes of patients; and
