Abstract
THE International Congress on Tuberculosis, held in Paris on October 2-7, has undoubtedly served as a medium for a most fruitful interchange of views by those interested in the struggle against tuberculosis. The congress was held in the Grand Palais, which from its extent enabled the members to be collected under one roof. The first day was devoted to the formal opening, when the delegates were welcomed by the President of the French Republic, who also after the close of the congress gave a reception at the Palais de l'Elysée. The chief social functions, which were characterised by complete success, comprised a reception at the Hotel de Ville by the Municipality of Paris, an “at home” by the Figaro, at which performances were given by well known artistes, a soiree at the Hotel Continental given by the president of the congress, Dr. Hérard, another at the Chatelet Theatre by the Matin, and a visit to Vaux de Cernay on the invitation of Dr. Henry de Rothschild.
