PURE MILK SUPPLY.
1 IMPORTANCE TO HEALTH. COMMENT BY DOCTOR. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON. Tuesday. Interesting comments on tuberculosis as it affects humans and animals were made by Dr. T. D. Stout in addressing the New Zealand branch of the Veterinary Association to-day. Dr. Stout, who is president of the New Zealand branch of the 8.M.A.. referred to the important pan which a pure milk supply played in maintaining the health of the community, and in this connection said that mixing of the milk of many cows and many herds lessened risk. Where milk was pasteurised, as well as mixed, the risk must be non-existent. He also felt that all cows from which milk is utilised for human consumption should be periodically subjected to the f.iberculine te.-t.. If this were carried out he felt that bovine tuberculosis could be eliminated in New Zealand and human tuberculosis much ameliorated. He mentioned also that there were otlie- diseases spread hv means of milk from which pasteurisition acts as a preventive.
