Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the International Commission on the Control of Bovine Tuberculosis: Presented to the American Veterinary Medical Association September, 1910 The Commission met at Buffalo, New York, on the fifteenth day of December, nineteen hundred and nine, and elected as Chairman Dr. J. G. Rutherford, of Ottawa, Canada, and as Secretary, Dr. M. H. Reynolds, of St. Paul, Minnesota. Owing to the death of Dr. Leonard Pearson, and the inability to act of Mr. Louis Swift, the President appointed in the stead of these two gentlemen respectively, Dr. M. P. Ravenel of Madison, Wisconsin, and Mr. T. W. Tomlinson of Denver, Colorado. Later at the request of the Commission the President appointed Mr. J. J. Ferguson, of Chicago, Ill., as a representative of the United States Packing Industry, and Dr. J. N. Hurty of Indianapolis, Indiana, as representative of the Medical Health Officers of the United States. Report Of The International Commission On The Control Of Bovine Tuberculosis. To the President of the American Veterinary Medical Association: Owing to the great economic and sanitary significance of animal tuberculosis to the live stock industry of America, and the many and varied factors which must of necessity be accounted with in formulating successful measures for its eradication, the American Veterinary Medical Association, at its meeting in Chicago in September, 1909, appointed the International Commission on the Control of Bovine Tuberculosis. The Commission was instructed to study the problem of tuberculosis among cattle and to report at the next meeting of the Association upon reasonable and economically practicable methods or systems to be recommended to both officials and live stock owners for eradicating this great scourge of domesticated animals. It is recognized that tuberculosis is widely prevalent among cattle and other animals and that the frequency with which this great evil occurs is increasing rather than declining. As tuberculosis is one of the strictly preventable infections, there is good ground for the belief that through the formulation and enforcement of proper regulations the disease may eventually be entirely suppressed.
