Baron Ishiguro, in introducing the great scientist, said, as he was the oldest Japanese acquainted with Professor Koch, this plessant | honour had been accorded him. All present were well aware of the invaluable service Professor Koch bad rendered to mankind net only in the detection of causes but also at discoverer of preventives of infectious diseases,
Thereupon Baron Takagi, retired Ganam Surgeon in Chief of the Navy, reminded the audience that last year the twenty-fifth an- nivelary of Koch's discovery of the tuberculosis bacillus had been the Decasion of forming an faternational union for preventing and com. bating tuberculosis, and a large fund had been raised underthe name of the Robert-Koch Fund, from which were to be assisted those who were responded to in Germany, England, Egypt, and working on this field, it had been largely
