NEWS AND ITEMS. 
Cambridge, in behalf of the King, has formally welcomed the 
delegates on Tuesday afternoon, Professor Koch, of Berlin, the 
recognized dean of tuberculosis experts, will open the patholog¬ 
ical section of the congress. Many of his professional brethren 
expect the great discoverer of the phthisis bacilli to announce a 
sensational consumptive theory rivalling in importance his pre¬ 
vious achievements. Professor Brouardel, of Paris, it is also an¬ 
ticipated, will make an important contribution to medical science. 
Dr. Haight says : u None is able to forecast what tremendous 
possibilities exist in this unprecedented gathering of medical 
wise men. So far as I am able to judge the sensational develop¬ 
ments will be along the line of prevention rather than the cure 
of tuberculosis, particularly the prevention of the disease in cows * 
and other cattle the source of food supplies. The programme 
reflects marked credit on the promoters of the congress. Not 
only have they secured the presence of delegates from fifteen 
countries outside the United Kingdom, but they have provided 
for the expression of ideas equally diversified. One hesitates to 
predict in these days of daily discovery what such a conclave may 
evolve. As the great caterer of the world America looms large in 
the scientific investigation of the causes and effects of tuberculosis. 
My fellow delegates represent the brainiest thought of the coun¬ 
try on the particular subject which the congress is called upon 
to consider. I am certain that they will give a good account of 
themselves when the roll of ideas is called.”
