Abstract
THE most sanguine expectations of those who have been responsible for the organisation of the British Congress on Tuberculosis could scarcely have led them to anticipate that such a remarkable success would attend their efforts as that which has been achieved. The work of some of these congresses appeals almost entirely to experts, whilst that of others has its interest only for the popular mind. Where, however, such a question as tuberculosis is concerned, the interests involved are so great and far-reaching that the medical man, the dabbler in science and the man in the street are all alike interested and fascinated. From Prof. Koch's splendid address, delivered on the first working day of the Congress, to the practical closing resolutions submitted to the Congress on Friday, those who attended would be ill to please did they not consider themselves provided with subjects for most interesting discussion.
