Royal Commission on Tuberculosis. Minutes of Evidence and 

 Appendix. [C. 7992.] Price 7s. 3d. 



This volume contains the Minutes of Evidence given before 

 the Royal Commission between 10th October 1890 and 15th 

 December 1890, together with reports on three special inquiries. 

 The first of these reports is by Professor McFadyean, Principal 

 of the Royal Veterinary College, on the experiments and 

 observations made by him as to the means of recognizing 

 tuberculosis in animals during life. Another report is by 

 Dr. Sidney Martin, Assistant Physician to University College 

 Hospital, as to food of tubercular origin, and its infectivity to 

 lower animals. The third inquiry was by Dr. Sims Woodhead, 

 Director of the Laboratories of the Royal Colleges of Physicians 

 and Surgeons, to determine how far cooking processes destroy 

 the infectivity of tubercle. The volume contains numerous 

 plates illustrative of these reports.
