Summary

"The Suppression of Tuberculosis" by Professor Emil von Behring is a scientific book that looks at tuberculosis and how to stop it from spreading. It focuses on how the disease moves between cows and humans, and what that means for people's health. It gives a close look at what causes tuberculosis and how to prevent it, pointing out that keeping dairy farms clean is very important. The book starts with a note from the translator, explaining why von Behring's work is important in the fight against tuberculosis and how it affects many people. Von Behring talks about how cow tuberculosis and human health are connected, stressing that doctors and public health workers need to know where the disease comes from. He gets ready to discuss the role of tubercle germs, both in animal and people, in the spread of disease and the need for better hygiene and animal care to reduce the chances of getting tuberculosis.

About the Author

Emil von Behring, was a German physiologist who received the 1901 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, the first one awarded in that field, for his discovery of a diphtheria antitoxin. He was widely known as a "saviour of children", as diphtheria used to be a major cause of child death. His work with the disease, as well as tetanus, has come to bring him most of his fame and acknowledgment. He was honoured with Prussian nobility in 1901, henceforth being known by the surname "von Behring".
