The contagiousness of tuberculosis is a subject of peculiar interest to the medical profession of this district, inas-much as it was here that our late colleague, Dr. Wm. Budd, startled the profession by announcing his belief that phthisis would be found to be contagious. The grounds of his belief were as follows:?* (a) Considerations based on the pathology of phthisis, as showing it to consist in the evolution and multiplication within the organism of a specific morbid matter, with a universal tendency to elimination and casting forth of the same, after the type of zymotic diseases generally. (b) Actual instances in which there was evidence to show that phthisis was communicated from one person to another.
