TUBERCULAR MILK
Sir, —The Napier Public Hospital is alive to the danger to patients (especially young children) in drinking milk infected with bovine tuberculosis, and has decided that the suppliers' herds must be tested. May one ask how long it will be before the Auckland Hospital Board follows suit? To say that the milk is pasteurised merely evades the issue. With the large supplies ofiering, is there any logical reason why hospital patients, especially in the children's wards, should not have milk from clean, non-tubercular cows ? Ratepayer.
