The Passing of the “Hoss” Doctor 
(Continued from page 123) 
tion and create a demand for healthy 
tuberculosis-free herds, and that de¬ 
mand should be so strong that Congress 
and the Legislature will be compelled 
to respond by appropriating more gen¬ 
erously in the future than has been 
done in the past for this work.” 
The last statement was made by Dr. 
Chase following a discussion of the fact 
that, as he understood it, the Bureau 
of Animal Industry at Washington and 
the New York State officials in Albany 
were handicapped by lack of funds and 
therefore unable to permit payment of 
indemnities on tests by accredited 
veterinarians. 
In conclusion Dr. Chase stated: “It 
is the purpose of the Tuberculosis 
Eradication drive to clean up area after 
area and ultimately to produce abso¬ 
lutely clean herds. The only way this 
can be done satisfactorily is to have 
it done harmoniously as possible with 
all possible speed compatible with 
efficient work. A perfect understand¬ 
ing between all parties concerned will 
facilitate the ultimatum. Let us all 
work to the accomplishment of that 
end. If the accredited veterinarian is 
accorded the consideration that the im¬ 
portance of the part he takes warrants, 
the work will progress more satisfac¬ 
torily and the end be moye rapidly 
achieved.” 
Dr. V. A. Moore, Dean of the New 
York State Veterinary College, read 
a learned and interesting paper on dis¬ 
eases of animals communicable to man, 
with special reference to those trans¬ 
mitted through milk. 
“A study of the infectious d'senses 
of animals,” said Dr. Moore, “shows 
that certain of them, such as anthrax, 
rabies, and foot and mouth diseases, are 
infectious for practically all species of 
warm-blooded animals. Others, like 
tuberculosis, glanders, and cowpox, are 
communicable to a few species only. 
There are a number of inflammatory 
conditions in animals due to pyogenic 
bacteria that will cause disease in man 
if opportunity is afforded. Infections 
of this kind are not infrequent. 
“The diseases of animals that have 
caused the greatest amount of human 
infection are, presumably, anthrax and 
rabies. Since the discovery of their 
causes and their modes of infection 
they have been of much less significance 
than they were before, although 
anthrax still remains a cause of many 
deaths in man. Cruickshank reported 
in London about 500 deaths annually 
from it. Graham reported 48 cases 
treated in New York City from 1915 to 
1918 inclusive; of these, 23 recovered 
and 25 died. Hubbard and Jacobson 
reported 34 cases in the same city in 
1919 and 1920, of which 23 recovered' 
and 11 died. The higher mortality in 
the former group is explained by the 
fact that seruni was not used in the 
treatment. 
“Rabies, that at one time was such 
a scourge, especially in Europe, is 
transmitted through the bites of in¬ 
fected animals, usually dogs. As the 
virus extends from the wound to the 
brain through the nerves, the deeper 
the bite and the more the laceration, 
the greater the danger of infection. 
The preventive treatment renders it 
possible to save most peep’e who are 
bitten. In .1908-09 there we”e exam¬ 
ined at the college 588 specimens of 
suspected rabies; of these 295 were 
positive. Last year 57 specimens were 
submitted for examination, and but 
14 were positive. In recent years the 
cases of human rabies have been very 
few and these among people who have 
not taken the treatment.” 
Speaking of human infection through 
milk from tubercular cows, Dr. Moore 
stated that the fact has been established 
that young children are suscept : ble to 
bovine tubercle bacteria, and that this 
infection usually takes place through 
the ingestion of infected milk. 
“In reference to the frequency with 
which these bacteria are found in mar¬ 
ket milk,” Dr. Moore said, “there is a 
scarcity of data of recent date. For- 
merlv a number of investigations indi¬ 
cated that they were quite numerous. 
For example, in 1906 Anderson exam¬ 
ined 233 samples of market milk in 
Washington and found tubercle bac¬ 
teria in 6.72 per cent. Campbell, in 
1908, found 13.8 per cent of 130 sam¬ 
ples of raw milk to contain these or¬ 
ganisms. He also found that one out 
of twelve samples sold as pasteur¬ 
ized milk contained virulent tubercle 
bacteria. 
“A large number of examinations 
have been made of the milk from indi¬ 
vidual tuberculous cows. M’Fadyean 
and Woodhead found the milk from 
fourteen out of nineteen tuberculous 
udders contained the organism. Two 
out of thirteen cases were positive when 
the udder was not affected. 
“In 1907 we made a series of exam¬ 
inations to ascertain how frequently 
tubercle bacteria appeared, first in the 
milk of herds containing reacting ani¬ 
mals, and secondly to what extent 
reacting cows with sound udders were 
eliminating the organisms. The results 
showed that of forty-nine samples of 
mixed milk, acid-fast bacteria resem¬ 
bling those of tuberculosis were found 
microscopically in one specimen and 
guinea pigs inoculated with the mixed 
milk from two herds which contained 
advanced cases of tuberculosis devel- 
> oped the disease. 
The preliminary examinations men¬ 
tioned were followed by a very thor¬ 
ough study by Peterson on the elimina¬ 
tion of tubercle bacteria in the milk and 
excreta of reacting cows w r hich ex¬ 
hibited no evidence of disease. The ex¬ 
aminations were reported frequently 
over a period of several months to as¬ 
certain whether or not in such animals 
the specific organisms were eliminated 
intermittently. The milk of nine react¬ 
ing cows was examined both micro¬ 
scopically and by guinea pig inocula¬ 
tion. The conclusion he drew from 
these studies are: 
1. The tuberculous cattle that were 
examined that were apparently sound 
but which 'reacted to the tuberculin 
test, did not eliminate sufficient tubercle 
bacilli to cause the death of experi¬ 
mental animals when injected with 
their milk or excreta, or for the same 
to be demonstrated microscopically. 
2. The animals that showed marked 
physical signs of tuberculosis elimi¬ 
nated tubercle bacilli in sufficient num¬ 
bers to be detected microscopically or 
by animal inoculation in the large per¬ 
centage of samples of milk and excreta 
taken at regular intervals. A signifi- 
' cant fact brought out in this work 
was that while many of these samples 
did not contain the organisms so long 
as lesions did not appear in the udder 
and there was no evidence of lung in¬ 
fection that when the cows developed 
pulmonary lesions tubercle bacteria ap¬ 
peared in their sputum and their feces 
contained the organism in sufficient 
numbers to kill guinea pigs infected 
with them. We have found very small 
tubercles discharging into the bron- 
chials and also into the trachea. This 
shows the possibility of tubercle bac¬ 
teria gaining access to the milk of cows 
suffering with pulmonary or intestinal 
tuberculosis and whose udders are not 
infected.”
