Abstract
THE Congress on Tuberculosis, which has recently concluded its sittings in Berlin, was instituted tinder the auspices of the Central International Organisation for the Prevention of Consumption, which is itself an outcome of the international congresses which have met during recent years in Paris, Berlin, Naples and London. An international association of this kind is to some extent a new departure and is not without political significance; its analogue may be found in the international systems at present existing for meteorological observations. Heretofore international cooperation against disease has been confined to sudden outbreaks of the more virulent epidemic maladies. It must be the sincere hope of every philanthropist that the result of this organisation may be the complete annihilation of one of the most potent and widespread causes of disease in existence.
