TUBERGULOSIS. 
By Prof. E. P. Niles, D.V.S. 
A paper read before the Virginia State Veterinary Medical Association. 
So much has been said and written on this subject that I 
fear any attempt on my part to give you anything new will re¬ 
sult in an abortive effort. It seems to me, therefore, that the 
president of this association has made one of the greatest mis¬ 
takes of his life in appointing me as an essayist on this particular 
subject. That the subject is, however, an important one all 
will admit, for there is probably no warm blooded animal that 
shows perfect immunity against this terrible disease. 
That it is readily transmitted from one animal to another, 
and from the lower animals to man, hence a highly infectious 
disease, no one can authoritatively deny.
