Excerpt from The Journal of Tuberculosis, 1903, Vol. 5: A Quarterly Magazine Devoted to the Prevention and Treatment of Tuberculosis The distinctive characteristics of bovine tuberculosis as compared with human tuberculosis consist therein, that the bovine affection appears to show a predilection for serous membranes while human tubercle seems to have its seat preferably in the parenchyma of organs, and that bovine tubercles are not usually found as small miliary or submiliary nodules but form nodules of larger size which are pedunculated and are often attached to connective tissue strands upon which they are arranged as are pearls upon a string, a characteristic which led to the designation of pearl disease. To these differences must be added the much greater ten deney to calcification of bovine tubercle, a dissimilarity which is, how ever, not histologic, but is caused by the greater amount of lime salts in the food of cattle.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from Auszüge aus der Naturgeschichte des C. Plinius Secundus in Einem Astronomisch-Komputistischen Sammelwerke des Achten Jahrhunderts Verschiedenen Gelehrten zum Gegenstande ihrer Studien gemacht werden sind haben diese Auszüge aus Plinius trotz ihres un verkennbaren hohen Alters keine eingehendere Untersuchung hervorgerufen. Aus der Mitteilung einiger weniger Les arten aber, die noch dazu nur aus zwei Handschriften, aus cod. Mon. 6364 und aus cod. Bern. 347 veröffentlicht sind und nur das 2. Buch der NH betreffen, ist es nicht möglich, eine richtige Vorstellung von jenen Auszügen zu bekommen Es erscheint deshalb nötig, den Text vollständig mitzuteilen. Denn die vor liegende Veröffentlichung verfolgt ausser dem speziellen Ziele, aus diesen Exzerpten Beiträge zur Texteskritik der NH zu geben, auch das allgemeinere, die Benützung des Plinius durch das von der Gelehrsamkeit der Alten zehrende Mittelalter zu zeigen 1) und die Aufmerksamkeit der Fachgelehrten auf das umfangreiche astronomisch-komputistische Sammelwerk zu richten, aus dem die Exzerpte stammen und das, allerdings in einer späteren Umarbeitung, in codex lat. Monac. 210 und codex lat. Vindobon. 387 noch erhalten ist. Aufgemuntert wurde ich zu derselben durch die Worte Detlefsens, dessen Verdienste um die NH keines Lobes bedürfen, Philologus 28 p. 309 f.: „ich würde besonders erfreut sein wenn jüngere Philologen, welche Ge legenheit haben, die grossen Bibliotheken zu benutzen, weitere Beiträge über die Handschriften der NH geben möchten.

Karl Von Ruck was the son of George and Clara von Ruck. He was born on July 10, 1849, in Constantinople, Turkey, where his father, a native of Stuttgart, was stationed in the German diplomatic service.
Von Ruck attended the University of Stuttgart, where he obtained the degree of B. S. in 1867. Then studying medicine at the University of Tubingen, he was graduated M. D. there in 1877.
After further study in England and at the University of Michigan he received the degree of M. D. from the University of Michigan in 1879.
Von Ruck practiced his profession at Norwalk, Ohio, first as a general practitioner, then developing a surgical practice, and later settling upon the specialty of tuberculosis. From the beginning of his medical studies, he was interested in this disease from contact at Tobingen with Felix von Niemeyer, an important clinician of the time. Also during a period of study in Berlin in 1882, he was present at the meeting there when Robert Koch announced the discovery of the tubercle bacillus.
To further the specialized work he removed to North Carolina and took over a sanitorium at Sulphur Springs near Asheville. Its destruction by fire shortly thereafter caused his removal to Asheville and the founding of Winyah Sanitorium at that place in 1888. This was one of the earliest private sanatoria for tubercular patients and made for him a comfortable fortune.
About 1913, he turned over the management of Winyah Sanitorium to his son, in order to concentrate on research. In collaboration with his son, Silvio von Ruck, he published Studies in Immunization against Tuberculosis in 1916. He died of nephritis the next year.
In 1895, Von Ruck founded the Von Ruck Research Laboratory for Tuberculosis in Asheville as a center for original investigation only, and in 1912, he found a vaccine for the prevention and cure of tuberculosis. Von Ruck contributed to a number of professional journals, and with his son, Dr. Silvio von Ruck, he was the author of Studies in Prophylactic and Therapeutic Immunization against Tuberculosis (1916).

In 1895, Von Ruck organized the Von Ruck Research Laboratory for Tuberculosis, where after two years of immunological investigation he produced a modification of Koch's first tuberculin, a watery extract of the tubercle bacillus. He was an early advocate of the complement-fixation test for the diagnosis of tuberculosis and for its use in the quantitative estimate of immunity to the disease.
Application of his laboratory research to the clinical material of the sanitorium resulted in 1912 in his anti-tuberculosis vaccine. This vaccine was used widely in the treatment of tuberculous patients, although designed primarily for the protective immunization of children and others exposed to tuberculous infection. This pioneer work in tuberculosis subjected him to much criticism and ridicule, which, to a man of his strong convictions and intolerance of opposition, was doubly galling.
Though he was throughout his career in constant controversy with his fellow-workers in the tuberculosis field, his work and many of his ideas have been generally accepted.
Von Ruck married Delia Moore of Ottawa County, Ohio, on December 25, 1872. The death of his only son, Silvio, and of his only grandchild, Silvia, almost simultaneously of pneumonia in 1918 was a crushing blow, followed by the death of his wife in 1921.
3 November 1851 - 31 December 1921
Died in 1897.
24 August 1875 - 7 April 1918 Was a physician who collaborated with his father and eventually took over much of his work before dying of pneumonia
