Wilson, when addressing members of the Levin Junior Chamber of Commerce, in the course of which he strongly advocated the pasteurisation of all milk destihed for consumption. The bovine type of tuberculosis was often found to be rife among dairy -herds, ahd infected milk products such as cheese for a time.
