TUBERCULOSIS
AN INTERESTING REPORT. STRINGENT MEASURES URGED. (Receiced Last Night, 10.10- o'clock.; LONDON, July 12. The Royal Commission on Tuberculosis, in iti final report, concludes that bovine tuberculosis is readily communicable to infants and children, with fatal results, particularly to the abdominal organs and cervical glands. Cows' milk is, it says, a large source of infection. One half of the cases of children dying from abdominal tuberculosis are due to the bovine bacillus alone. TuWculosis in adults, especially in lung cases, is generally traceable to the human germ, but the cases of bovine tuberculosis in adults are sufficiently inter sive to incapacitate them for life. The Commissioners recommend stringent regulations and Government supervision of meat and milk, irrespective of whether there is disease of the udders or internal organs. The cost of the Commission's enquiries during the last decade has been £75,557. Seven more volumes of the report are promised, chiefly containing details of experiments on Lord Blythe's farm.
