Excerpt from The Prevention of Consumption: A Mode of Prevention Founded on a New Theory of the Nature of the Tubercle-Bacillus

IT isiacknowledged on all hands that Koch's discovery of the tubercle-bacillus has been practically useless hitherto, save in the matter of diagnosis; and it is patent that no material addition to the etiology of phthisis has been made since the discovery was given to the world. SO far as I can learn, no one has looked at the question from the point of View here taken up. The conception I have formed as to the botanical position of the bacillus I believe to be new. If it shall prove to be true, it will at once revolutionize the treatment of phthisis, and if it do not ultimately bring about the disappearance of the disease from civilized nations, it will inevitably lead to the immediate reduction of a large amount Of tuberculosis amongst certain classes of their subjects. Given the truth of the main propositions herein contended for, it admits Of easy demonstration that the prevention of ordinary pulmonary consumption, at all events, is well within the domain of practical hygiene.
