Synopsis
Excerpt from The Relation of Tuberculous Lesions to the Mode of Infection
Cadeac declares that the dust ground from dried tuberculous sputum is harmless both to the digestive and respiratory passages. Not a single experiment has shown the transmission of tuberculosis by the inhalation of dust gathered from localities inhabited by tuberculous patients. The writer has demonstrated that it is almost impossible to cause the development of this disease by the inhalation of this infected dust. The desiccation and rapid conversion of sputum into flying dust are the natural means of preservation against tuberculous infection.
