Washington, May 6. Tuberculosis infection from bovine and other germs vs. infection through human germs was discussed at length to-day at the meeting of the National Association for the Study nad Prevention of Tu berculosis, in third annual session here. The question was not settled, and the proposition was mooted of ap pointing a committee to continue the study of that subject. The question came up at the after noon session in the ' section of tu? berculosis In children. Dr. Charles Hunter Dunn, of Boston, had for his subject- "Recent Advances in the Knowledge of Tuberculosis in Chil dren." Discussing the great; ; fre quency of tuberculosis in early life he said that it increases from month to month and year to year, but that in the cases in which ft was found to cause death it decreases from year to year. In . early life ;: tuberculosis did hot affect the lungs as it did in the case of the adult,, but frequently re mained hidden in the Internal glands in children until an acute form of tubercular meningitis or pneumonia caused death. He declared that chil dren have no power : of resistance against these acute outbreaks and that small babies showed no tendency to ward the healing of the lesions. SOURCES OF INFECTION. . Coming to the sources Of tubercular Infection he mentioned-- the various theories that it was congenial, due to dust, of moist . sputum, and said that while .there was truth In all of , them the commonest source was house con taglon from tubercular surroundings. In diagnosing latent forms of the disease he said that the X-Ray was the most important means of discover ing it. ' Finally, he spoke on the subject of Immunlnar a nerson acralnst tubercu losls by means of vaccination.1, i He re viewed the ' progress that had been made in that direction and said, that he believed that human beings were in a pretty good' state of natural re sistance, and he held out hope of find lng a vaccine to make resistance ab solute. .. -V'-:-'':'' .". Dr. Henry L. K. Shaw, of. Albany, N. Y., in discussing tne question "the present statue of the transmittlblllty of bovine tuberculosis as illustrated hy infants and young ' children ' argued trial the usual method of -acquiring the disease through the contagion of man to man and not through mnk and other foods, j That, however, he said, should not cause a relaxation of the efforts made and, being made jo guard against infection . in that way.
