PENICILLIN IN MILK
No N.Z. Reports Of Effects (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, April 29. There was no evidence that any persons in New Zealand had been affected by drinking milk containing traces of penicillin use'd in treating cows for mastitis, Department of Agriculture officials said today. They were commenting on a Melbourne report that penicillin in milk, to which some people were allergic, was causing concern throughout the world. Measures taken by the department to prevent milk becoming infected were apparently successful, but the position would have to be watched, they said. Farmers had been instructed to withhold -milk supplies from the factory for three days after giving penicillin to cows. The treatment usually lasted for three days.
