MEAT INSPECTION.
Speaking on municipal slaughter-houses, in the course of a lecture at Wellington, Dr Chappie said :—" We know very well that, tuberculosis is prevalent in New Zealand, and the report just to hand from Napier is positively alarming. We know that this disease is communicable to man; we know that cooking does not destroy its infectivity; we know all this, and we know the remedy (inspection of abattoirs by a qualified medical man), and yet we do nothing. Not only do we know the' remedy, but we,also know that it is simple, practicable and effective. All that we want is a little energy, and the infusion of a new enthu- " siasm in our local administration."
