Abstract
THIS is a valuable contribution to the epidemiology of tuberculosis, by one who has had exceptional opportunities of becoming familiar with the disease in his capacity of medical officer of health and county tuberculosis officer for Hertfordshire, and of former tuberculosis officer or medical superintendent of sanatoria elsewhere. The subjects discussed include the incidence of tuberculosis in man and animals, the types of the disease, etiology and infection, housing and tuberculosis, relation of tuberculosis to milk supply, importance of early # detection and treatment, modern treatment and after-care, and tuberculosis and the nursing service.
