Professor Koch's Conclusion , as to the transmission of bovine 
tuberculosis to man, is of no surgical value ; but, the “ Surgical 
Department ” of the Review recognizes its importance to the 
veterinary profession and live stock interests in general. There 
has been nothing new but this conclusion placed before the 
medical and veterinary profession during the past decade to ex¬ 
cite enthusiasm in the discussion of the disease, and to encour¬ 
age experiments on the line of transmission. He has aroused 
everybody from their lethargy, and beseeched them to obtain 
and countenance the truth. If the dairy products of a tuber¬ 
cular herd are not injurious to man, everybody should know it; 
if the meat of tubercular meat-producing animals is fit for food, 
it should be known generally, and to a certainty, and thereby 
save the thousands of dollars that are sacrificed each year for 
prophylactic measures ; but, on the other hand, if the experi¬ 
ments that are likely^ to follow in verifying this proposition are 
well directed and carefully made by every progressive nation or 
government respectively and prove that the preventive meas¬ 
ures that have been in vogue during the past have not been a 
waste of professional and scientific energy, they will serve to 
convince those who have heretofore been indifferent or skeptical 
about the transmission of the disease, that they have done 
themselves and humanity an injury by their attitude. Such a 
conclusion emanating from any one but he who opened up the 
avenue to the micro-biology of the disease, could not have 
awakened so much anxiety among the chauvanistic, disinter¬ 
ested, indifferent and skeptical; and, we believe that the stand 
he has taken will be a benefit to all concerned, “ be it as it 
will.”— (E, M)
