MILK AND HEALTH.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —Lecturing in Wellington this week, a well-known doctor said, “It is a strange £hing that in China, where practically no milk is consumed, the people do not suffer from infectious disease.” The doctor went on to refer with emphasis to the appalling ignorance concerning milk which universally exists and his remarks generally aimed at a better milk supply service and more rigid inspection. It is certainly time Christchurch' had a municipal supply. Listen to what the doctor said : “As long as the milk is white and fairly thick, as long a/3 it does not show lumps of dirt, as long as it does not smell and is not clotted, we consider it a fit article to drink, whereas in many cases this stuff is nothing hut camouflaged sewage.” Isn’t it time we woke up over this business? —I am. PURE FOOD.
