4() NORTH CAROLINA BOARD OF HEALTH. that I only got up to sixteen. I repeat the offer. If you wisli to have these things at hand and will make a request of me officially, T will see to it that the deposit is made with the Su])erintendent of Health. We do not deposit bottles for drinking water, nor carriers for sputum, for the reason that there is no hurry whatever in sputum, and in the ease of water, while it is desirable to have it done as soon as possible, the danger of the abuse of that privilege is so great—so many peo}de want the water examined from mere curiosity—and as we have only one bacteriologist we don't want to overwork him eutirelv, we restrict it in that way. Dr. Tait Butler, the State Veterinarian, who was present by invitation^ was introduced to the session and made the following remarks on bovine tuberculosis: ^Ir. Pkesidext axd Gentlemen:—1 don't know that I have any special message to bring to this meeting, but there was one point touched upon in the report of your Secretary that ought possibly to be more fully explained. It stated that out of fifty-nine samples of milk examined during the year by the bacteriologist of the Board only one contained tubercle bacilli. My object in referring to this matter is to call attention to the fact that this is in no sense a true index of the prevalence of tuberculosis in the dairy herds of the State. Only a very small percentage of even tuberculous cows give milk in which the bacillus of tuberculosis is present. On the other hand, I have examined several dairy herds in the State^ and out of 175 head nearly forty per cent, have reacted to the tuberculin test. 1 would not have you take this, either, as a true index of the prevalence of the disease, for these were undoubtedly exceptions; still, it shows that the dairy herds of the State are not free from the disease, and the question is one that may well command the attention of this meeting. The disease is, no doubt, rare among the cattle of the general farmer, and while this condition exists is the most opportune time to deal with the danger. Of course, since Koch sought to reverse himself, and the opinion of the medical profession generally, on the basis of nineteen incomplete and defective negative experiments, it seems to have been popular to question even the possibility of conveying tuberculosis to the human consumer of milk and flesh, but it seems to me the question raised by the noted bacteriologist is being rapidly settled against him. Only recently Behring, who stands as high in the medical w^orld as Koch, has staled in the advanced sheets of a book which he is publishing that he has
