Abstract
THE forthcoming international conference on tuberculosis, which is to be held in London on July 26–28, is likely to provide some considerable additions to our knowledge of this chief of diseases, and may, it is hoped, serve also to give heart to those engaged in the preventive and curative work which has stood the test of trial. The president of the International Union against Tuberculosis is the eminent French jurist and statesman, M. Léon Bourgeois, and it is significant of the double rôle of the conference that Prof. A. Calmette, of Lille, will open a discussion on the modes of diffusion of tuberculosis throughout the races of the world, while an English physician, Sir H. Rolleston, will open another discussion on the duty—too much neglected—of the medical profession in the prevention of tuberculosis.
