Abstract
IN July 1890, a Royal Commission was appointed to inquire and report “what is the effect, if any, of food derived from tuberculous animals on human health, and if prejudicial, what are the circumstances and conditions with regard to the tuberculosis in the animal which produces that effect upon man. Lord Basing was the chairman, and the other commissioners were: Prof. G. T. Brown, Sir George Buchanan, Dr. G. F. Payne, and Prof. Burdon Sanderson. After the death of Lord Basing, in October last, the commission was reorganised with Sir George Buchanan as chairman. The report of this commission, upon the evidence and experimental inquiries received since the appointment of the original commission five years ago, was presented to Parliament last week. The general results of the inquiries instituted by the commissions in connection with the matter referred to them, will be found in the subjoined summary appended to the report:—
