PURIFYING MILK
DR. BLACKMORE CAMPAIGN Christchurch, Aug. 3. Dr. Blackmore, director of tubercu losis institutions in Canterbury, writes to the “Star” as follows:— “The remarks I made to members of Parliament yesterday regarding the destruction of germs in milk have been misunderstood. I hope that others who heard me beside the solitary reporter who was present did not gather from my remarks that I said the boiling of milk does not kill tuberculosis germs, because this is incorrect. Tho boiling of milk absolutely destroys all germs of tuberculosis in it. I said that the pasteurising of milk was merely ' a compromise to meet present conditions, and did not destroy impurities in milk or remove dirt.
“What I was trying to show was that we should try to produce, not milk that requires to be boiled in order to kill germs, but one that has no germs in it which will require killing.”
