Book excerpt: Excerpt from Suggestions for a Standard for Butter: Presented to the Joint Committee on Definitions and Standards The U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry estimates that ten percent, of all the Dairy Cows in the United States are affected with bovine tuberculosis, and it is now generally accepted by scientists that bovine tuberculosis is responsible to some extent for tuberculosis in the human family. Conclusive experimental evidence has shown that tuberculous infection in man is produced through eating food containing the active bacilli of that disease. The British Royal Commission on Human and Animal Tuberculosis concluded from its investigation that cows milk containing bovine tubercle bacilli is clearly a cause of fatal tuberculosis in man, and that a very large proportion of tuberculosis acquired by ingestion is due to tubercle bacilli of bovine origin Journal Royal Institute of Public Health, Vol. 15). The evidence upon this point is well summarized in an article by Dr. John R. Mohler of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry, in Bulletin No. 56 of the U. S. Hygienic Laboratory from which the following excerpt is taken: "Since direct experiments upon human beings are out of the question, the finding of the bovine type of tubercle bacillus in human lesions is the most direct and positive proof that tuberculosis of cattle is responsible for a certain amount of tuberculosis in the human family. Numerous experiments with this object in view have already proven this fact. Thus the German Commission on Tuberculosis examined 56 different cultures of tubercle bacilli of human origin and found 6 which were more virulent than is usual for human tubercle bacilli, causing marked lesions of tuberculosis in the cattle inoculated with them, and making over 10 percent, of the cases tested that were affected with a form of tuberculosis which, by Koch's own method, must be classified as of bovine origin.
