Bellinger, Klebs, and Chauveau were almost invariably 

 successful with herbivorous animals ; but Colin, Giin- 

 ther, and Miiller saw only negative results. Virchow, 

 experimenting with pigs, achieved somewhat indecisive 

 effects ; and while not inclined to deny the identity of 

 the two diseases, he thinks it not yet experimentally 

 proven that tuberculosis can be induced in animals by 

 feeding them with such meat and milk. While we may 

 quite agree in this, yet when we consider ike probability 

 on anatomical and experimental evidence j when we re- 

 member the peculiar frequency of intestinal tuberculosis 

 in infants, especially in those artificially nourished ; when 

 we think that thirty per cent, of certain herds of cattle 

 are, according to Professor Law, demonstrably tubercu- 

 lous ; we may be inclined to dispense with further direct 

 experimental evidence, and avoid such meat and milk.
