Cream infecisad with typhoid before churning piocluced butter in which the bacilli were fevnd three months later. Further research shewed that the butter milk was the medium in which the bacilli prospered, aB they retained their vitality, for four months in it, •whereas when the buttermilk was worked out of the butter, the bacilli did not thrive. The pressing necessity of washing and scaldingmilk cans and other utensils thoroughly was demonstrated by the fact, that a slight inoculation of the infected milk into freshly drawn milk transmitted the germs of disease.
