 H. Carlton Smith, Ph.G-. 



Boston, Mass., Dec. 31, 1896. 

 To the Board of Cattle Commissioners, Boston, Mass. 



Gentlemen : — I have the honor to submit herewith a condensed 

 report on the experimental inoculation of calves with the human 

 tubercle bacillus. These experiments the commission was kind 

 enough to permit me to undertake in the winter of 1895 and the 

 spring of 1896. I assume the liberty of sending you a condensed 

 rather than a detailed report, as the latter can only interest the 

 scientists, and since it may be found in full elsewhere, should any 

 one wish to refer to it. 



Yours respectfully, 



Langdon Frothingham.
