Robert Koch, M.,D. was 28, adventuresome, and bored with bis country prac- tice in a small East Prussian town. He began to experie- ment, st udying the substances around him. Developing bis own unique research techni- ques, he took biological samples from cattle which had died of anthrax, a comn- mon killer of livestock. Even- tually, he isolated the bacterium which was its- cause. Thus brought to public at- tention, he became a medical officer in Berlin, and con- tinued his research in a well- equipped laboratory. Now bis samples carne fromn people wbo badi died of tuberculosis, wbicb was the cause of one in seven deaths in Europe and America. He developed new laboratory procedures wbicb form tbe basis for procedures used today. He did animal ex- periments, taking risks with bis won healtb in handling in- fected materiais. At last, he isolated the tubercule bacillus and proved it was the cause of TB. The paper he presented on March 24, 1882 gave other researchers infor- mation tbey could use to seek a cure. In 1905, Koch was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine. Today's Lung Association bas its roots in the fight against tuberculosis. Organized in 1900, (over 40 years before the development of streptomycin the first anti- TB drug) tbe Association's early work contributed great- ly to progress in the diagnosîs and treatment of tube- culosis. Today the Liang Association's efforts are directed at prevention and control of ail lung diseases in- cluding empbysema, TB, astbma- and chronic bron- chitîs and their associated causes, smoking, air pollu- tion and on-tbe-job lung hazards.
