Cows' milk was a large source of infection. One half of the cases of children dying From abdominal tuberculoid were due to bovine bacillus alone. Lung cases in adults were generally traceable to a human germ, but cases of bovine tuberculosis in adults were srTiciently extensive to incapacitate life.
The commissioners recommended stringent regulations and Government supervision of meat and milk, irrespective of whether there was disease of the udders or internal organs. The co,st of the con mission's enquiries during the past decade was £75,557: Seven more volumes are promised, chiefly dealing with details of the experiments conducted on Lord Blythe'n farm.
