to be done when one meets with the flesh of a tuberculous cow 
prepared for food ? 
The General Secretary observed that if the Congress desired to 
have one or two supplementary sessions, either one of those im¬ 
portant questions might be discussed. He believed that all the 
members present, and all the members of the organizing com¬ 
mittee, will be willing to vote an extension of the meeting. 
Mr. Bouley said, from the scientific point of view, the question 
can be reserved ; as to the practical point, the Congress can 
say in what cases the meat may be given to public consumption. 
Mr. Larmet offered a proposition signed by himself, Messrs. 
Quivogne, Anne and Rossignol, reading as follows: 
“ Considering that it is indispensable that this Congress 
should express its opinion in relation to tuberculosis in its rela¬ 
tions to the inspection of meats,"'the undersigned ask of the 
Congress to declare that it is wise to determine the cases in which 
animals may be accepted or rejected for public food.” 
The President again inquired if the Congress wished to take 
up that question ? 
Mr. Lydtin said that in the lirand Duchy of Baden, a law was 
asked for in relation to the measures to be recommended against 
that malady, and that he himself had, with others, examined that 
important subject. He added, that for centuries regulations to 
that effect have existed. Three distinctions have been made as 
to the use of the meat of tuberculous cows ; in the first degree, 
the use of the meat was allowed without trouble; in the second, 
the meat was not confiscated, but its sale was allowed only in 
designated places, and as diseased meat; in the third, the meat 
was confiscated and buried. 
Dr. Willems desired that the question be discussed now. 
Mr. Bouley asked if the Congress desired that in this session 
the subject should be discussed from the point of view of the use 
of the meat? The proposition was adopted without opposition. 
The President: Does the Congress wish according to the pro¬ 
position of Messrs. Larmet, Quivogne, Anne and Bossignol, to 
fix to-morrow’s meetiug at 8 o’clock ? 
Yes, yes; was a general response.
