PROPOSED TEST TN ENGLAND. A preliminary of the Spahlinger vaccine treatment for the prevention of tuberculosis is to be undertaken in England by the Royal Agricultural SocietyThirty calves six months old are to be used for the purpose, 20 of which will be vaccinated and the remainder used as controls, and their progress will be watched at Cambridge by Professor Wooldridge, Dr. Minett ana Dr. Buxton, three well-known veterinary authorities. If Mr. Spahlinger approves of the full details of the experiments, the Royal Agricultural Society will provide the cost, which is expected to be £5OO, and the duration of the tests will be 18 months. Sir Merrik Burrell, chairman of the Veterinary Committee, said that it was intended that the test should be strict, but perfectly fair, and of sue t a character as to satisfy general scientific opinion. Further tests on a larger scale would doubtless follow.
