THE TUBERCULOSIS CONGRESS, Dr. Tait Butler Tells of the Great Convention Just Closed. Dr. Tait Butler has just returned from Washington, D. C where he attended the sessions of the Interna tional Tuberculosis Congress.'-'.'' Dr. Butler said that this was the most remarkable gathering he. ever attended. It was the greatest gath ering of scientists and physicians ever assembled in the United States. Every important nation of the world was represented. The bright est minds of England, Germany, France, Austria, Russia Spain, and Italy were there. Among the most famous present was the celebrated Dr. Koch, a Ger man of great distinction and a hlgn authority on tubercular diseases. : Dr. Koch holds to the theory that bovine tuberculosis cannot be trans mitted to the human body. In this position Dr. Butler says he was prac tically alone. . German scientists did not oppose bis theory, out of respect to his high standing, openly, but in private they did not hesitate to ex press their doubts as to his position. Dr. Koch was opposed by practically all the leading . scientists. An emi nent London physician showed that out of 20 per cent, of the children of London who die from tuberculosis be tween the age of one and five years, one-third of these show bovine tuber culosls germs. Dr. Butler seems to think that the scientific evidence Is overwhelming in is proof of the fact that tuberculosis germs can be transmitted from cows to the human body. . : "The congress will do great good," said Dr. Butler, "In calling attention of the American people to the matter of dealing with consumption, and in fixing the Interest ot those. who at tended from all parts of the United States in the disease, so that some way may be devised to check its spread." .
