Kochs Theory Tested By Doctor Garnault Experiments
Paris dispatch describes Dr Garnault, a physician aged forty two, dedicating himself to testing Professor Kochs theory that milk and meat from consumptive cows are harmless. Garnault inoculated himself with tubercle bacilli from infected beef, seeks to proveConsumption can be controlled by banning meat and milk from diseased animals. He declares indifference to life and death, aims to show public health dangers in meat and dairy markets. Garnault faces professional ruin as patients desert him, yet defends his motives and hopes to expose what he calls a dangerous theory.
