The subject of tubercalosis is a fcrtiln om- thcsodays, and the govern- ment* of many countries are experi- menting .vith the disease to learn TvLat tliere is to be learned about it. In the Ontario Legislature tbe ques- tion Las been discussed and Min- ister Dryden lias been severely hand- It J by the Opposition, charged with criminal negligence in allowing animals to be sold from the Agriculture CoU ego at Guelph that wore tainted will) the disease. In tbe present state of our Knowledge regarding the question it is a matter of doubt as to the actual danger incurred by alhwing each dis- eased animals to live and multiply, but nearly all authorities agree that the disease is highly contagions and here- ditary among cattle, and that it is identical with consumption in the hu- man Hystem. Authorities are not so uuhuimously agreed npou the possibility of tuberculous development in tut human body by eating of tie meat of diseased animals. At least one authority which we have read claims that cooking will not kill the haccilus, but the great majority hold that it is thus rendered harmless, ami in Norway the meat of taberculoui animals is allowed to bo offered for ale upon a proper statement of the condition of the animal being made known to the purchaser. Hulk-tin No. of the Ottawa experimental farm gives a record of a large number of tests made with tnberculiuc or Koch's lymph, which proves that a surprising percentage of animals are affected with this incurable disease, and there seems to bo the probability that if the facts T/ere known the percentage would bo found enormous throughout the whole country. In New York state, whure govern! ent inspectors have been ap- pointed he disease is found to be very general, as also in England. Just what bearing this has npon the death rate of humanity by eating of the in fectcd meat, is a matter that lias not been settled ; therefore the responsibil- ity for selling animals suspcoU-d of he- ing iufoctodis also an unknown quan- tity. This matter is a live topic heio at the intuit lime, as the disease is known to exist in this vicinity. It is only a matter of surprise, judging by t'..< ;;<ivuni!iu-iit test* before us of ap- parently healthy cattle, that tie ili- cahc lias not been Jiscoveicd lion In fore now The general belief is that no district is altogether free from it more than aro other countries, in some (01 in or anotht t. What bearing it, prevalence has upon the general health of humanity remains to be pioveu, but we Ix ii.'VH it will not be found to be . fatal as some sciculints would Lave us bcliovo. Let us hope-, at all tventH, thai ituuh will be Uiecaac will have learned exactly what changes the government has decided to effect. That tlicBu chauges will be of the very greatest importance cannot he doubt- ed, and that they will be thoroughly in keeping with the requirement of the tiuius is only to be expected, from a government which lias gone so thoroughly into the question as has the Dominion government during the past year.
