with extensive tuberculosis. The autopsy on this cow estab¬ 
lished the existence of tuberculous lesions in the mammas. At 
the end of 56 days the pig - was killed, when it presented no 
lesions referable to tuberculosis. (2). Four rabbits received by 
injections into the abdominal cavity the milk from a cow ex¬ 
tensively tuberculous, in doses of ten, twenty and thirty 
grammes, during a period of five days. All these rabbits be¬ 
came tuberculous. The extension and the multiplication of 
the lesions was directly proportional to the quantity of milk 
inoculated. 
“ II. Contagion by the uncooked meat. (1). Two pigs, two 
months and a half old, were fed during a period of ten days, 
each five and a half kilogrammes of uncooked meat, taken 
from the cow above cited. This meat was entirely consumed. 
One of the pigs, killed at the end of seventy days, presented 
some tuberculous granulations in a ganglion under the tongue 
and in a mesenteric ganglion, as well as in the liver. The 
other showed granulations in the mesenteric ganglia. (2). 
Three rabbits received a hypodermic injection, each two- 
tenths of a cubic centimeter of juice taken from the meat of 
the same animal from which the pigs were fed. These three 
rabbits presented, at the autopsy, some very pronounced tu¬ 
berculous lesions. 
“ III. Contagion by the juice of the flesh of a capon dead 
from tuberculosis. The muscle of this capon being pressed 
furnishes a red juice which is inoculated into three rabbits in 
doses of one, two and three cubic centimeters. Killed at the 
end of sixty, eighty-three and one hundred and twenty days. 
All of these rabbits presented, at the autopsy, numerous le¬ 
sions of tuberculosis. 
“ These experiments tend to prove: 
“ 1. That the milk coming from tuberculous cows is 
virulent. 
u 2, That the juice from tuberculous meat is also virulent, 
“3. That the virulence of these products is less pro¬ 
nounced by gastric ingestion than by subcutaneous inoculation.
