tuberculous herd. Dean Bankln is alto endeeTorlng to eliminate tuberouloaia from two tuberoulous herds by_ihe vaooirmtion with 2,0.0. of til animals introduced into these herds. Good progress la 2tine mads but it la atill uncertain wbetbor tuberouloais can b completely eliminated in thia wty. Dr. JJL. Baudouin, of tbt University of Mon trail, re ported upon the vmooination of ohildrtn with B.C.O., an erperlme!* which baa now baan under way for about tan years. Booent raiulta have fully confirmed the previous indioetiona, (a) that B.O.G. waa harmleia to ohildxon, (b) that vaoolaation raduoad (anaral mortality, Jo) that waooinatlon raduoad Morbidity (atata of ill&aat), and (d) that it raduoad to a major extant tha number of Am the from tuberouloaia amongst ohildran exposed to open oataa of tha dlaaaaa. Eaoantly Dr. Baudouin1 a work hat bean improved by tpeoitl study of waoolnatad end unvaoolnatad ohildran in tha ana familial, and by expressing the revolts of vaooizmtien on tha batla of ohlld yeara of Ufa. Thila waxy ittbatantial results hare already baan obtained. In line with reaolti in frnnoa and aleawhere, there la still not full agreement aa to tha degree of reiletanoa oonferred by B.O.G. and it la therefore important that the work be oontlnued with, if poaalble, avtn oloaer oontrol, until It hat patted definitely beyond tha experimental stage. EeTtoalnatlon and tuberoulin taatlng of eaoolnated ohildran are alao ragarded aa neoeasary. The preparation of all B.0.0. uaad in Canada la oarrled out at tha Uniwaralty of Montreal by Dr. 1. Trappier, who it following methods developed et the Pasteur Institute in France. Sr. Frappler desoribe4 hit methods to tha oomalttee. meabera of which arpraised themselves aa fully aatiaflad with the praoautions being taken. . Dr. G.ots reported on tuberouloaia reiearoh oarrled out at tbe University of Toronto without finanoial assistance from the ooamlttee. In attempt waa being made to dsvelop oultural methods to aupplant tecta on guiwa pigi for primary icolations. 9hla work waa auooeaafol and it waa proposed to apply in Toronto hoepltala the aethoda developed. Dr. T. MaoL. Barrie, of tho Department of Penaioas and Mtticoal Health, outlined the Spehlinger method of troating tuberouloaia. The ooamlttee did not propoae to undertake any work on thia method nf treatment. The question of ailiooaia and eabeetoala, previously dlsoussed by tha ooamlttee in relation to tuberouloaia. waa re viewed by Dr. Hot a. who reported that he waa oo-operating with tho Banting Institute in their iirrestl gallons, but that ha waa not yet aatiaflad that thia important qua at ion waa reoeivlng tha attention which its aerlouanoaa justified. Vo definite aotlos was taken by tho committee in this matter.
