Dr. Boor, of Muncie, relates a case as follows: “ On April 
1 Oth last, accompanied by the State Veterinarian, Dr. Stull, and 
Live Stock Sanitary Commissioner Hall, they visited a case of 
suspected tuberculosis on the farm of Mr. A——. Upon exam¬ 
ination, they found the animal to be in the last stages of tuber¬ 
culosis. The state veterinarian ordered her destroyed, which 
was done, and also her calf, which was likewise affected, was at 
the same time destroyed. About the time the cow was de¬ 
stroyed Mrs. A-was taken sick, and is now suffering from a 
well-marked case of consumption whether having been trans¬ 
mitted by the cow, or whether merely incidental, cannot, of 
course, be stated; but at the same time there are probably 
thousands of cases similar that have been passed unnoticed. It 
is a well-known fact that thousands of children die every year 
with tubercular bowel trouble, caused from the milk obtained 
from tubercular animals, the delicate mucous membrane not 
being of sufficient vitality to throw off the dreaded germ. It is 
also true that you and I, in a debilitated condition, could not 
throw off the germ of tuberculosis. 
It is hardly worth while for me to continue the subject any 
further, as you all realize the danger as well as I; but I would 
suggest to all of you that you confer with your representatives 
and senators from your districts, and impress upon the mind of 
each the necessity of legislation by educating him. Show him 
the danger arising from this disease in cattle, give him literature 
on the subject, and let him come here next winter scared to 
death.

A paper read before the Indiana Association Veterinary Graduates. 
It is a pleasure that I am permitted to stand before you on 
this occasion, for the purpose of stating frankly my views re¬ 
garding this wide and important, although obscure disease, 
which has prevailed beyond our comprehension. Until recently.
