Stout in addressing the New Zealand branch of the Veterinary Association to-day. Dr. Stout, who is president of the New Zealand branch of the British Medical Association, referred to the important part a pure milk supply played in maintaining the health of the community, and in this connection said that the mixing of the milk of many cows and many herds lessened the risk, and where the milk was pasteurised as well as mixed the risk must be non-existent.
