THE MILK SUPPLY AND TYPHOID
No more fruitful cause for the 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 be carefully washed with water containing a small quantity of Quibell'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 tho floors of 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 cease to exist. Messrs Dalgety and Co., Ltd., aro the sole importers of Quibell's Kerol for Australasia, and sunplies can W obtained from all storekeepers. °
