WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS.
TESTS BY M. SPAHLINGER. IMPORTANT RESULTS CLAIMED. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 5.15 p.m.) LONDON. Dec. 13. Reports from Geneva state that tests, checked by State officials, have been made by M. Spahlinger to establish his claim that heifers treated with his bovine vaccine resisted most virulent tuberculosis germs, while those not/ vaccinated died in 19 days. M. Spahlinger suggests that tuberculosis in cattle can be stamped out if all calves arc inoculated at birth. This, he says, would lead to stamping out the disease among human beings. Replying to a question in the House of Commons, Lieutenant-Colonel Hon. W. Guinness, Financial Secretary to the Treasury, said he had no knowledge regarding tests of the Spahlinger bovine vaccine beyond the press reports. He added that the official committeo created in 1924 to make tests was then unable to obtain vaccine from M. Spahlinger. The committee was still existent, but he was unable to say whether it was prepared to again take up the tests.
