Tuberculosis and the Milk Supply.

Abstract

Attention has been directed to the relationship of tuberculosis and milk, and to the problem of a pure milk supply and the methods whereby this may be ensured, by a series of articles and letters which have appeared in The Times during September and October. We may consider the questions thus raised under three headings: (1) how far is tuberculous-infected milk a danger to the community as a whole; (2) will pasteurisation, certified milk depôts, or other means remedy the evil if it exist; (3) can a safe milk supply be ensured without revolution in present methods.
