Baumgarten-Tangl Law

The Baumgarten-Tangl law is a rule about tuberculosis: it states that the location where the bacteria intruded is the one where the inflammation can be observed first.

The law was first published in 1890 by Franz Tangl and verified in 1905 by Paul Clemens von Baumgarten.

Famous quotes containing the word law:

    I consider, then, the power to annul a law of the United States, assumed by one state, incompatible with the existence of the Union, contradicted expressly by the letter of the Constitution, unauthorized by its spirit, inconsistent with every principle on which it was founded, and destructive of the great object for which it was formed.
    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
