In almost 'all the principal towns there are private associa¬ 
tions which are charged with controlling the wholesomeness and 
the price of milk. 
All things considered, it appears that Denmark has not 
progressed badly in the battle with tuberculosis. As to the 
mortality caused by tuberculosis, it is diminishing in a very 
remarkable manner.

[ABSTRACT.-] 
I. TUBERCULOSIS IN BOVINE ANIMALS: 
I^S DANGERS, ITS PROGRESS, ITS PROPHYLAXIS. 
By Ed. M. Nocard, Alport. 
CONCLUSIONS : 
A. —Tuberculosis is one of the diseases of cattle which 
causes most loss to agriculture in all countries. 
B. —Everywhere the disease is on the increase ; everywhere 
it forms a menacing danger to public health as well as to public 
wealth. 
C. —Infection being the only formidable cause of the increase 
of tuberculosis, there is need for the adoption of legal measures 
prescribing :— 
1. The complete separation of unhealthy from healthy ani¬ 
mals ; 
2. The slaughtering, without delay, of those sick animals 
which show clinical signs of the disease, and especially of cows 
attacked with tuberculous mastitis ; 
3. The interdiction from selling other tuberculous animals 
for a destination other than the slaughter-house ;
