SIXTH INTERNATIONAL VETERINARY CONGRESS 
3. —The various governments are invited to provide the 
funds necessary to definitely settle the value of mallein infec¬ 
tions as a measure of sanitary police, this to be done by 
means of experiments in which a certain number of horses 
would be artificially infected and then treated with mallein. 
Adopted unanimously. 
III. Tuberculin. 
1. —In view of the great divergence of opinion expressed 
during the discussion on tuberculin, the Congress should re¬ 
frain from passing any resolutions on the subject. Sup¬ 
ported by 3 votes only. 
2. —Tuberculin is a valuable method of diagnosis, and it 
is capable of rendering the greatest service in the struggle 
against tuberculosis. There is no occasion to abandon the! 
employment of this substance under the pretext that it may 
provoke an aggravation of the disease. Adopted by 98 votes. 
3. —Tuberculin being a valuable means of diagnosis, the: 
Congress recommends the method followed in Denmark to 
combat tuberculosis. Negatived by 73 votes against 31. 
4. —The International Congress, recognizing that tubercu¬ 
lin is in reality the best means of assuring the diagnosis of 
animal tuberculosis, and therefore the best means of combat-: 
ing the disease, resolves that the employment of tuberculin 
ought to be imposed by official regulations in the various 
States. Negatived by a large majority. 
5. —The Sixth International Congress takes note of the 
attempts which have been made in Denmark with such great 
foresight and excellent results to combat tuberculosis of 
cattle by the employment of tuberculin, and invites the 
Supreme Federal Council of Switzerland to bring under 
the notice of the different governments the results of its de- 
liberations, and to recommend the general employment of the 
Danish method everywhere. Negatived by a large majority 
. 
against 25 votes. 
The Congress records its opinion that the various govern¬ 
ments ought to prescribe the employment of tuberculin in 
premises in which the disease has been observed. Adopted 
by 73 votes against 25.
