investigation of the aspect of the problem which brought us to¬ 
gether here today, viz.: The food-route, the gastro-int'estinal 
paths of conduction of the disease. 
To a further direct elucidation of the mechanism by which 
tubercular infection is thus introduced into the human body, es¬ 
pecially its localization in the lung, I shall henceforth devote all 
my energy. 
references and bibliography. 
From the following works I have frequently, liberally and even literally quoted, 
and am therefore correspondingly indebted to their authors, which I hereby beg to ac¬ 
knowledge: 
The anatomical and physiological considerations advanced are taken from: 
“ Quain’s Elements of Anatomy,” and the various authors who have contributed 
to this work, especially Edward Albert Schaefer and George Dancer Thane. 
“ Stewart’s Manual of Physiology.” 
Other works referred to are: 
“ Green’s Pathology.” 
Wladimiroff, “ On the Biology of the Tubercle Bacillus,” Proceedings of the Sixth 
International Congress on Tuberculosis, Washington, D. C., 1908. 
Metchnikoff’s various works.

gress on Tuberculosis, Washington, D. C., 1908.

Concluding Note;, —In connection with the above I have to thank Dr. E. I. Fogel, 
of this city, for the receipt of an extremely interesting and important paper by Leonard 
[Findlay, M. D., “ Uber Den Ursprung Anthrakose der Lungen,” in a collection of essays 
dedicated to Professor Heinrich Finkelstein, of Berlin, by his pupils and collaborators, 
May, 1911, in which the above views are earnestly combated, and especially Calmette’s 
work on pulmonary anthracosis via the intestine, is directly controverted. 
This only adds to the interest and fascination of the subject, and shows that the 
problem is still an open, debatable one, worthy of our most earnest endeavor and study.

“Clambake for Famous Trotter ” is the title of an article 
which appeared in the New York Herald of August 21, and which 
speaks of the celebration of the 27th birthday of “ Kingwood,” a 
trotting horse, who, with his genial owner, Mr. George A. Cole¬ 
man, were familiar sights on the New York Speedway a few 
years ago. Everyone in New York knows “ George ” Coleman, 
keeper for many years of the “ Kingwood stables,” named after 
his favorite horse, who has a mark of 2:17^, but has trotted 
trial heats in 2:08^. Mr. Coleman first owned “Kingwood” 
when he was six years old, but has sold and re-bought him three 
times, buying him the last time to insure him peace and plenty for 
the rest of his life. More than one hundred business men at¬ 
tended the clambake given in honor of the 27th birthday of the 
trotting horse, who, done up in ribbons, was an appreciative spec¬ 
tator, munching oats and idly switching flies with^nis graceful 
tail.
