THE MILK SUPPLY AND TYPHOID
No more fruitful cause for ttie spread, of typhoid and other kindred infectious diseases exists than a contaminated milk supply, and this fact points to the absolute necessity of ensuring the destruction of all disease germs in or near the dairy and cow shed. Before milking milkers' hands and the udders of cows should bo carefully washed with water containing a small quantity of Quibel's Kerol, whether the cows are milked by machine or otherwise. The walls of cowsheds and dairies should be periodically cleansed with lime wash containing a mixture of Kerol, and the floors of the sheds swilled out with water in which the great germ destroyer has been mixed. If the above simple rules are observed typhoid and other diseases, so far as their spread from the milk supply is due, will very soon ceasej to exist. Messrs Dalgety and Co., (Ltd.( are the sole importers of Quibell's Kerol for Australasia, and supplies can be obtained'from all storekeepers.
