IMPORTANCE TO MEAT INSPECTION 147 



In generalized tuberculosis, therefore, one carefully in- 

 spects the body, incises the body lymph-glands and ex- 

 amines the vertebrae and sternum after longitudinal 

 division. 



If the udder-tuberculosis is local or the tuberculosis is 

 generalized, but the skeleton and muscles unaffected, and 

 the meat healthy in other respects, the meat can be passed 

 for use. [Entire carcass condemned.] 



One should not forget to carefully determine whether 

 or not the supramammary and lumbar lymph-glands are 

 swollen.
