Excerpt from Bovine Tuberculosis

Everybody knows that consumption is one of the most serious diseases which afflict mankind. It is a common statement that one seventh of all deaths are due to it in some of its varied forms. Its prominent characteristics are the destruction of portions of the lungs or intestines and the rapid or gradual wasting of the other tissues with the accompanying loss of vital strength, ending in death. Hence the appropriateness of the name consumption. The above mentioned symptoms are the most striking manifestations of a general diseased condi tion known as tuberculosis. It is called tuberculosis because in the diseased parts are found new growths in the form of rounded masses or nodules, known as tubercles.
