§ 137. Characterization. Tuberculosis is an infectious 

 disease from which the human .specie.s, cattle and swine suffer 

 very extensively and which, under favorable conditions, attacks 

 nearly if not all species of animals including fish. It is a dis- 

 ease of slow development, involving either primarily, or in 

 association with other organs, the lymphatic system. It is 

 characterized by the formation of nodules, or tubercles, in 

 consequence of the activities of Bacterium tuberculosis. It does 

 not destroy life by acute toxemia, but by a chronic and long 

 continued systemic poisoning and by the morbid changes 

 brought about through the localization of these lesions in 

 organs necessary to life.
