Lord Moynihan, President of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, when addressing a lunch club at Leeds, did not scruple to warn the guests of the dangers of the English milk supply, asking whether anyone ever saw a clean cow. He pointed out that people professed horror because 1,000,000 lives were lost in wartime, yet they were not disturbed though 15,000,000 men had died of cancer during the present century. This was at the rate of 50,000 a year. A hundred persons, he said, died each day from tuberculosis. Only ' 400 of England's 200,000 farms produced firstclass tubercle-free milk. He had no confidence in the remainder. Forty per cent of England's cows were tubercular.
