Over 20 laboratories and organizations are cooperating in the research under the joint guidance of the Public Health Service and the National Tuberculosis Association: the results justify hope of a more rapid solution of this baffling disease. Dr. White feels that the same scientific concentration method should be applied to fields of study in industry, agriculture, medicine...
