TUBERCULOSIS
["To the Editor.!
Sir. —A certain class of your readers will be greatly indebted to you if you can let them know in the columns of the "New Zealand Mail’’ if there is any danger to life in killing and skinning badly infected tuberculous cattle, as on a good many stations some men have to kill such animals for dog meat and the meat lias to be cut up and bandied when the carcase is one mass of abominable diseased matter. It seems to me that men. who have to do this work are risking their lives, especially if they happen to have broken skin on their hands. I would like to know what Mr Gilruth, or any other learned gentleman, has to say on this subject.—l am. etc.,
INQUIRER.
TA number of cases are on record in which human beings have contracted, •deiberculosis from bovines in the manner described by our correspondent.—Editor "New Zealand Mail.”!
