Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Sixth International Congress on Tuberculosis, Vol. 5 of 6: Washington, September 28 to October 5, 1908; The Opening and Closing Ceremonies, Report of the Secretary-General, Officers, Committees, and Members When it was first proposed to have an exposition in connection with the Sixth International Congress on Tuberculosis in Washington, to which the whole civilized world should be invited to contribute; when it was, furthermore, determined that this exposition should represent, as nearly as could be, the progress and achievements Of the whole scientific world in its struggle against tuberculosis, since the discovery Of the tubercle bacillus, by R. Koch in 1882, which meant an exposition planned on a larger scale' than any of its predecessors - the task seemed indeed enormous, and scarcely to be realized. This catalogue, like the exposition itself, represents the sum total Of the contributions from all the exhibitors, individual as well as collective. Of the 438 contributors to the exposition, 312 reside within the limits Of the United States; 126 without. Two hundred and twenty-two Of the above number are collective contributions, that is, from associations, societies, and other corporate bodies, and 216 from individual members Of the Congress. Of the 222 collective contributors, those from the United States number 170; those from Europe or from other parts Of America, 52. Of the 216 individual exhibits we are indebted to the United States gor 142, to European and American countries outside Of the United States, or 74.
