Tuberculosis of Animals. —We continue in the present 
number the publication of our translation of the important 
paper read by Professor S. Arloing before the Congress on 
tuberculosis held in Paris about a year ago, of which we gave 
the first portion in our last issue, and shall print the conclud¬ 
ing part in our next. While the arguments of the paper, with 
the confirmatory documents upon which they are based, and 
the conclusions to which they lead, may not be received with 
the same degree of conviction on this side of the Atlantic 
which has accompanied them on the other, nor the same 
value accorded to the statistical facts which it furnishes, and 
the figures which have been cited, we have still thought it 
likely to prove not only of great interest to our readers, but 
also of great value in the discussions which are sure to take 
place at a later period, upon the practical question of precau¬ 
tionary measures against the possible epidemic spread of a 
disease which involves so fearfully the health and life of both 
man and beast. 
The important problems which we believe must soon arise 
for settlement in consequence of the presence of tuberculosis 
amongst animals in this country, and the constantly increasing 
danger to which human life is exposed so long as sanitary 
precautions are not efficiently employed against its diffusion, 
together with the pecuniary disaster which may befall our 
agricultural interests from its fearful ravages, and the risks
