PURE MILK SUPPLY
DOCTOR’S ADVOCACY. COMSIENTS ON TUBERCULOSIS. Per Press Association. AVELLINGTON, June 29. Interesting comments on tuberculosis as it affects humans and animals were made by Dr T. D. Stout, addressing the New Zealand branch of the Veterinary Association to-day. Dr Stout, who is president of tiie New Zealand branch of the 8.A1.A., referred to the important part a pure milk supply played in maintaining the health of the community, and in tliis connection said mixing milk of many cows and many herds lessened the risk, and where milk was pasteurised as well as mixed the risk must be non-exist-ent. He also felt that all cows from which milk is utilised for human consumption should be periodically subjected to the tuberculin test. It" this was carried out, he felt that bovine tuberculosis could be eliminated in New Zealand, and human tuberculosis much ameliorated. He mentioned also that there were other diseases spread by means of milk from which pasteurisation acted as a preventive.
