Abstract:
It was on the 24th March, 1882, that Koch brought forward
his famous paper, in which he described his discovery of the
Tubercle Bacillus, before the Berlin Physiological Society.
Twenty-five years have since rolled by, and we may now be
said to have arrived at the Silver Jubilee of the Bacillus.
The present would, therefore, seem a very appropriate time
to review the results of the impetus imparted by Koch's
genius to the study of this most widespread and fatal of
human diseases, and endeavour to precise the directions in
which future exertion may be most fruitfully employed.
