Abstract
THE importance of a supply of pure and wholesome milk can hardly be exaggerated, and during the last few years much has been done to ensure this by the education of the producer, and by the formulation of regulations by the health authorities. Contamination may take -place at four stages:—(1) the cow may be unhealthy, e.g. tuberculous; (2) the condition of the farm and milkers and the methods employed may be unsatisfactory; (3) contamination may take place in transit; or (4) during or after sale to the consumer.
