M . no SOME FACTS REGARDING - TUBERCULOSIS. Especially of Dairy Cattle, and Suggestions as to the Means for its Suppression. \the disease known as tuberculosis, «wud, whon affecting the lungs, as pul amonary: tuberculosis or consumption, is vory common in human beings and dn cortalnm domestic animals, especially cattlo. More than one-seventh of all «deaths occurring in human beings Ahroughout the ctyilized world is caus- ed by tubcreulos!s, and It is estimated that more than one-fourth of all deaths occuring difrlug adult life is due to it, and that nearly one-half of the entire population at some time in life acquire 'it, It attacks people in all conditions «of l[to, of all ages and occupations, in the country as well as In the city.

As it has been «oefinitely proven that tuberculosis can only result from: the reception of these gormg into the body and their multipli- cation thore, It follows from what has Just beon sa{d that when the disease is ncquivred It must be through the re- <option Into the body 'of the living germs that have come more or less di- rectly from some other human being or animal affected wtlh the disease. In man, theso gorms ave cast off in enor- mous - numbers in the expectoration and In the evacuations from the bowels In cattle filso, whether there be cough or not, the slobber or spittle or dis- charges from the bowels contain these gormg when the lungs or the intestines are diseased, 'Fheso discharges fall upon the ground or mangers, or floors or fences, and aro often either Hcked up by 'othor animals or taken with thier food, or dry and become pulverized find fre then breathed. into the lungs tn: the form of dust. As the disease is communicable It will be readily seen that the pregence of one tubercular ant mal in a herd may ultimately cause the discase In many others with which it comes In contact, It hag also been fully established that the milk of cows which are tuberculous, whothor the udder is affected or not, angy contain theso living and virulent tubercle bacillt; and thalt tho milk from Buch: a tubscrculous cow, no matter how healthy the animal may appear, may ChilSe the disease in human beings who tine {t, It mikes no difference how far stich milk may be carried or how much It may bo mixed with mills from healthy cows, it is alwitys dangorous and its dlatrtbution for human consuniption, if dono knowingly, is crimiual, Among stall-fod dairy cows, from five to fifty por cant ire sometimes found to be affectod.with the disease.

Itis a well-known fact that mombovs of certafu fumiMes and broods of cattle are particu- latly liable to tabsrculosts, and this Ha- billty may bo transmitted to the off- spring. In min, go imiurked and go fre- quent Is this Unbillty, und so freuent is the transmisslon of the disease in par- tlouwtnr families, that the affection has long been consgldored hioreditary, 'We Iknow that tuboreulosis can only be eated by tho ontrance of the tubercle bacillus into tho body, and that the transmitted linblilty at most only rend- ors tho Individuat a more onsy proy to the gorme whon they once have gained entrance, Wo know that the frequency of thedisease In such famlHies {s in Inrg- est part due to the continued exposure to the infectlony materlat which is cast off from the body of those who are dis- esged by expectoration or otherwise, and In the absonce of Intelligont pre- cautions Is: conveyed to the well in various ways which the intimacy of household life fosters. Similar condi- - tlons favor the dissemination of the in- fectlous: miatorial among cattle herded and housed together, If thon, tuberculosis is not Inherited, the question of prevention in human beings resolves itself into the avoidance of tubsrevlar meat and milk and the destruction of the discharges of dig- & # milk from such animals. eased persons, and especially of the sputum. In cattle,. the only efficient means to pervent its extension to other members of a herd and to human be- ings is by the prompt destruction of diseased animals, As to the first means of communication in the human being those. measures of prevention alone answer the requirements which em- brace official inspections of dairy cows and of animals slaughtered for food, 'and the rigid exclusion and destruction of all those found to be tuberculous. In recent years, since the cause of tubercudosis has been known, sanitary Authorities haye been devising and urg- Ing measures of protection against the spread of the disease among the inhabi- tants, especially of towns and cities. If man can be protected from tubercul- ous meat and milk, and the sputum of consumptive individuals can be prop- erly disposed of, or at once destroyed when discharged, the danger of the transmission of the disease from ani- mals to men, and from man to man can be greatly diminished. Measures look- ing to this end are being put into force all over the world by intelligent sani- tary authorities. f While the existence of tuberculosis in cattle has been known for a long without the knowledge of their owners, learned how common it is. Even yet its frequency is not sufficiently recognized by farmers and cattle owners, and the great and increasing dangers to which they are subjected by the use of milk and butter from diseased animals, and the great and increasing financial loss to which they are liable from this dis- ease are not generally appreciated. In herds which are supposed to be per- fectly healthy, from.two to twenty-five per cent may be tuberculous, and in high bred cattle the percentage of dis- eased animals is oftener greater than this. 'The consumers of milk in cities are rapidly becoming informed, through the publications of health boards and the Investigations of special commis- sloners, of the risks to which they sub- ject themselves, and especially of the risks to which they subject their chil- dren and invalids by the use of milk which comes to them from unknown sources, or from cows which often, without the knowledge of theih owners, 'are diseased and which may be giving off these dangerous germs at every: milking. Municipal sanitary authori- ties and milk consumers are beginning seriously to demand a guarantee of pro- tection against this real and growing danger. . 'This is the standpoint of the munici- pal health officers and the milk consum- ers. From the side of the farmers and dairymen, the condition of affairs de- mands ioumediate attention for two rea- sons; First, Because they will soon everywhere be required by the con- sumer to give some guarantee either directly or through sanitary officers that none of the milk which they sup- ply comes from tuberculous cows. Second. Because the presence of dis- ease In one or more dnimals of a herd is a serious menace to the rest and may lead sconer or later to the loss of a large part of them, while, at the same time, the owners and their families are equally with those who buy their pro- ducts subject to the dangers of tuber- culosis from the use of milk and butter from such diseased animals. Tuberculosis is now so widespread in this State that no owner of cattle can be certain no matter how well and healthy his animals may appear, that some of them are not already seriously diseased, and constantly infecting healthy animals with which they ' mingle in thestalls and pastures, of thit the members of his own family nre not being infected by the use of As this dis- ense Is communicable from animal to animal and from animal to man, every intelligent owner of cattle can under- stand that it is for his own interest to have all the animals in a herd, which 'he knows to be tubercular, separated from the rest, and at once killed and destroyed. Destruction is the only proper, mode of disposal of such ani- mals, 'since their continued presence threatens the remainder, and their sale for food or thir use for milking is not only dishonorable, but may become criminal. I 'The difficulty hitherto has been to detect with certainty the presence of tuberculosis in animals in which symp- toms of the disease are not marked. No one will willingly incur the loss re- sulting from the destruction of ani- eased, and until recently it has been impossible in many cases even for ex- perienced veterinarians, \after most careful examination, to determine whether tuberculosis was present in certain animals or not. Now, how- ever, this difficulty has been almost en- tively removed by the discovery and use of tuberculin. 'Thig tuberculin test affords a means of detecting with cer- tainty the existence even of incipent tuberculosis in those cattle which ap- pear perfectly healthy and give no sign of disease. 'The substance spoken of (tuberculin) <is a brownish fluid, prepared from the germs which cause this disease. The Injection of tuberculin beneath the skin of suspected nnimals will ,by the presence or absence of certain symp- toms, usually lead the experienced ob- serve to apositive conclusion as to the presence or rbsence of the disease. 'This test is not attended by any danger and produces no harmful effects in ani- mals which aro not tuberculous. When tuberculin was first employed for this purpose mistukes were not infrequent, but now the certainty is so great that In skNMlled hands the percentage of error is but a fraction of one per cent. The owners of valuable cattle in many re- glons, after carefully watching its ap- plication, hive become firm advocates of its value and safety, and so great has become the desire in some parts of the country to free the herds from this disease that the demand for its admin- istration has far outrun the facilities for its supply and use. By the use of tuberculin and the destruction of cattle shown by the test to be diseased, it is possibue to entirely free dangerous in- fected herds from tuberculosis, and to keep them free and sound by the ad- mission to these herds of such cattle only is have been proven by the tuber- culin test to be sound; provided that after the herds have been tested and freed from diseased animals, the stalls and stables rre thoroughly disinfected. The great loss which the destruction of digcased cattle involves will, * of course, be uppermost in the minds of owners, find although the destruction of diseased cattle even at great immed- t lmmecllqte loss would, in the long run, mails not positively known to be diss TUESDAY, be true economy, yet this loss must be sriously considered before the work is entered upon,. It has been generally recognized that the State should, in some measure at least, compensate the owners for cattle destroyed, since un- der such conditions as now exist, the fault is not usually with the cattle owner, and the gain in the suppres- sion of tuberculosis is shared by, all citizens alike. It would also seem just that the cost of ridding a herd of tu- berculosis should be borne by the State only once, but that thereafter, the own- r should keep it free by admitting no animals without the proof of sound- ness which the tuberculin test affords. If the payment by the State for the tuberculoous cattle destroyed be assur- ed, as it can be by an act of the Legis- latuer appropriating a suitable amount for this purpose, a way will be open for the gradual extinction of bovine tuber- culosis in the State of New York,. If then, the tuberculin test be required for all cattle entering the State the herds here once freed may be kept free from disease. This means a great and material benefit to dairymen and farm- ers, to cattle owners and citizens alike of the entire State. It means to all con- sumers of milk the removal of a seri- ous menace to health and life. Itis be- lieved that if the farmers, dairymen and dealers in, and the consumers of milk will take this matter under seri- ous consideration and bring their in- fluence to bear, individually or in asso- ciation, upon their representatives at Albany, such legislation may be speed- ily secured as will lead to most bene- ficent results for all. It is the purpose of the State Board of Health of New York to urge upon the Legislature such revision of the exist- ing law upon this subject as shall en- sure certainty in the detection of the disease, free of cost to the owners of cattle, and appropriation as will secure for the owner a direct and speedy pay- ment by the State for all cattle destroy- ed, at a fair and equitable rate. The appropriations in the past have enabled the authorities to commence the work and to secure an efficient organization, but have been far too meagre to attain even an approach to the wide suppres- sion of the disease. 'There should be an appropriation by the Legislature for the current fiscal year of not less than 'Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) for immediate use. This matter is brought to the attention of farmers and dairymen and cattle owners in the hope that they will co- operate in the attempt to free this State from dangerous and costly pest, and thus promote their own qrivate welfare as well as the interests of the public health.

HIS STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS. O1d Fashioned Ideas About Work-A Much |- Misunderstood Man--His Personal Preju- dices, Kis Painstaking Thoroughness and His Industry. WASARINXGTOX, June 18.-[Special.]-All reports concerning the ill health of President Cleveland are without founda- tion.. Two years ago the friends of the president and his physician-as well were much worried about him. His tendency to gout and rheumatism showed signs of serious aggravation, and it was feared his heart might be attacked. Since that the president has gradually recovered his nor- mal condition and for a year or more has been in prime health.. Much of the im- provement is due to careful dieting, for the president, like many a common mor- tal, has found it necessary to be extremely careful as to what he eats and drinks, es- pecially the latter. Myr. Cleveland rarely tastes intoxicating liquor these days, and when he does dring he prefers a very small potion of good whisky. Wine has a tend- ency to stir up the gout and give him twinges in his big toe. \For every drop of wine I drink,\ he said recently, \I have to pay a dreadful penalty. You may be sure I don't drink much. It doesn't pay.\ His Great Industry, | The ability of the president to perform hard labor without unusual fatigue was ghown during the closing days of congress. Night after night he sat up till 8 or 4 in the morning carefully examining the large number of bills and resolutions sent. him for his approval. 'The president bas old fashioned ideas about this work. He will not intrust it to his cabinet subordinates. He thinks it his duty to examine every- thing with his own eyes, and it does not matter how unimportant the bill Mr. Cleveland looks long and earnestly be- neath the surface to see if any improper thinga«is Turking there. It is only just to say that he has not a great amount of con- fidence in the wisdom and caution of con- gress, and nothing pleases him better than & chance to \score one'' by discovering a flaw and sending in a veto. Although he was up. late, or rather early, night after night, the president was at his desk the next morning at the usual time. Heis a hard and conscientious worker. He is a plodder, aman of fmethodical habits and great patience. I recently had a most interesting talk with a member of the cabinet concerning the president, in which I obtained some new insight into the big man's mental and temperamental equipment. ''Mr. Cleveland is a very much misun- derstood man,'\ said this -cabinet officer. ''When I accepted a place in the cabinet, I confess that I shared the general impres- sion as to the president's way of doing things. Like most people, I had been led to believe that he ruled his cabinet with a rod of iron. I actually feared that heopen- ed cabinet councils by thumping the table with a club and telling his advisers what he wanted done. I very soon discovered that this is not true at all. In fact, pre- cisely the reverse is the case. In all my experience of more than three years around the council board I have never known the president to speak a harsh word toany one of us. Nothing could be kindlier or more friendly. than his method. His Power of Logic. \This brings me to a phase of Mr. Cleve- land's character about which L am sure the | general public has greatly mistaken no- tions.. He is generally supposed to be a man of violent pi‘cjudices, of ways so 'set,' | as the New Englanders say, that his vision is obstructed and his judgment sadly warp- ed.. One of the great: amusements in life for me is the study of men. It is a fad of mine. » Itis as natural for me to study a man as it is to eat. Well, I have studied Mr. Cleveland for more than three years, and I can say that he has one of the most perfect mental machines I ever saw. He is 'just like Carlyle in' that 'he has almost faultless powers of logic. In every ques- tion which does not involve personality at all, which is purely one of principle and reason, Mr. Cleveland is as unerring as the law of gravity. He thinks along a straight line, and it is very rarely indeed that he makes a mistake. (He has the reputation of being 'bull headed,\ and it is true that when once his mind is made up he clings tenaciously to his conclusions. But to say that he is stubborn or unreasonable is to. say whatis not true, for I can remember a number of instances in which. the presi- dent has admitted himself to be in the wrong and has admitted it, too, in the presence of all the members of .his cabinet. \It takes a strong and well balanced man to do this under cireumstances where there is every temptation to have his own way and decline to admit himself to be in the wrong. I have known the president to submit to the cabinet some message or order written by himself at great cost of time and labor, for 'the president does everything with painstaking and thor- oughness, only to have some new evidence or thought in reference to it brought for- ward by members of the cabinet. I have seen the president pause to think about these new things and then exclaim: j «* 'You are right, and I have been on the wrong track. I am glad we got this right before it was too late.\ \And then he would tear up his manu- script right before our eyes.\ That is the sort of a man Mr. Cleveland is. He has what I call intellectual honesty, in that no prejudice, no. predetermination, is permit- ted to mar the process by which he seeks the truth and justice of any question which he is called upon to decide. Sympathy and Prejudice. \*Take it in the matter of pardons. 'The president considers only the facts. He permits himself to be swayed neither by his sympathies nor his prejudices. It is a common notion that A petition for pardon signed by senators who are on friendly terms with the president will be more likely. to secure favorable action than any other. But that is not true. The names on a petition have not the slightest weight in the president's eyes. \I have been speaking about matters which are impersonal. In personal inat- ters, such as appointments, Mr. Cleve: land's mind is not as clear and unerring. He has personal prejudices and resent. ments, and sometimes these afe very: strong. - This is his weakness.: If he were as'strong in this feature as he is in the other, he would be one of the greatest men that ever sat in the White House. had more tact in dealing with men he would be almost unapproachablé as a lead- er of thought and of men in this country.\ WALTER WELLMAX, If he- \| etrow 45 NVAR .
