N2  - The almost innumerable observations and researches on the various phases of tuberculosis, more particularly in recent years, have gradually but surely led to the conclusion that not only is infection primarily contracted through the alimentary system far more frequently than was previously supposed; but a number of competent observers have expressed a positive opinion that the danger from ingestion of the bacilli is even greater than by inhalation, and that many apparently primary tuberculous processes in the lungs or else where in the body are in a large percentage of instances in reality but the manifestation of an infection occurring through the intestinal tract.Clinically such conclusions are based largely on the frequent occurrence of intestinal lesions in artificially fed infants, but the direct proof of this route of infection naturally rests on animal experiments.Chauveau,1 who was the first to demonstrate the infectivity of the human bacillus for cattle
