The suppression of tuberculosis is of universal interest. A diseasewhich is so wide-spread and which attacks the human race from so manypoints can be successfully combated only by the cooperation of manydifferent agencies. It is therefore of great importance that the originof tuberculosis be well understood not only by physicians, but by manyoutside the medical profession, such as dairy- and cattle-men, officersof health boards, sanitary engineers, etc. In order to present to theEnglish reader in a concise and authentic form von Behring’s views onthe origin and suppression of tuberculosis, the translator has madeselections of von Behring’s articles from several different sources.
The principal article is translated from a lecture delivered inCassel, September 25, 1903. In reply to certain criticisms of astatement in this lecture, von Behring published an explanation inthe Deutsche medizinische Wochenschrift, No. 6, 1904. This isreproduced, in part, in the Appendix. The two articles, “Observationson Phthisiogenesis”[Pg iv] and “Suggestions concerning the Hygiene of CowStables” are taken from Beiträge zur experimentellen Therapie,No. 8, 1904.
Each article, with the exception of the one just mentioned, isreproduced in full and without changes. In a subject of suchcontroversial nature it is essential to reproduce faithfully the exactmeaning of the original, and this has been done even though at timesit may have led to awkward
