What Tuberculin Is
Tuberculin is the result of many experiments to obtain a curative anti toxin or serum for tuberculosis. It is a product of the growth of the tubercle organism in artificial culture, but it is harmless when used properly. It will neither cure nor spread disease in an affected animal, nor injure a healthy one. With skilled handling it is almost infallible, and errors are only a few per cent. In Pennsylvania 4,000 animals with characteristic reactions were slaughtered and examined, showing the disease presence in all but eight.
