† Includes 3 cases anthrax.
NOTE.—In preparing the figures for mortality in contagious diseases I have had at my disposal two
sets, one from the returns of the district officers compiled from the cattle death registers maintained by the
village headmen and the other from mortality returns in connection with outbreaks submitted by the Circle
Veterinary Staff. In the former returns the diagnosis has been made by the village headman and many
cases have been recorded during the year in which the diagnosis could not be verified on inspection by the
Veterinary Staff. As the departmental figures recorded above in italics are the more correct the yare referred
to in Chapter III of the Report.

On Milk as a Medium for Choleraic Comma-Bacilli.
BY
SURGEON-MAJOR D. D. CUNNINGHAM, M.B., F.R.S.,
BENGAL MEDICAL SERVICE.
In a paper which was published in the last number of this periodical, an
account was given of the results of a series of experiments on the behaviour
of Choleraic Comma-Bacilli when introduced into water and soil of various
qualities, and it was pointed out that these appeared to demonstrate that the
Bacilli were very feeble organisms when exposed to a struggle for existence in
these media. As a supplement to these experiments another series was subse
-
quently tried in regard to the phenomena presenting themselves where milk was
employed as a medium, and these gave results which appear to be sufficiently
remarkable and sufficiently opposed to current beliefs to merit detailed descrip
-
tion.
A special interest attaches to the behaviour of Comma-Bacilli in milk, as the
latter is so often, and frequently on very insufficient evidence, regarded as the
exciting cause of cases of cholera, and as it has also been affirmed to be a spe
-
cially favourable medium for the development of the Bacilli. For, in the first
place, if milk really does play an important part as a vehicle in the propagation of
cholera, and were, at the same time, a favourable medium for the growth and
multiplication of Comma-Bacilli, the evidence would, in so far, at all events, be
in favour of the views of those who regard the Bacilli as the specific cause of the
disease. But, apart from the question of causal relation, there can be no ques
-
tion as to the frequency of the association of the Bacilli with the disease as
characteristic constituents of the alvine discharges—a frequency which is so
great that the association is generally regarded as of diagnostic value—so that,
at all events, were milk a really favourable medium for the Bacilli, we should
have an invaluable aid towards determining whether in any case a suspected
sample of the fluid had really been contaminated with choleraic materials. In
fact, for all those believing in the constant specific association of Comma-
Bacilli with choleraic discharges, and regarding the latter as the material nor
-
mally containing the poison, no assertion of the agency of milk as a vehicle
could be regarded as of any conclusive value without the demonstration of the
presence of Comma-Bacilli in it—a demonstration which could, of course, be B

readily afforded by means of suitable cultivations. Moreover, independently of
any questions specially relating to cholera, or any individual disease, we find
milk, of the very impure quality ordinarily in use in India, so frequently regard-
ed as a cause of disease that it appears to be very desirable to obtain some
definite data regarding its normal behaviour in relation to schizomycete organ-
isms generally, and specially in regard to its relation to any, such as comma-
Bacilli, to which definite pathogenic properties have been ascribed.
In dealing with any subject of this nature it cannot be too clearly borne
in mind that we must distinguish between the potential capacities which any
material may possess as a medium under special conditions, such as those of steri-
lisation, from those which it possesses under ordinary circumstances and when al-
ready populated by schizomycete organisms. From the point of view of practical
hygiene it is of comparatively little moment what the properties of milk may be
when in an exceptional condition, such as that of sterilisation, and it is its properties
in the condition in which it ordinarily comes into use which alone merit serious
consideration. This, however, would seem, to a great extent, to have been over-
looked, and the results of experiments on sterilised milk to have been regard-
ed as affording sufficient grounds for statements referring to the fluid generally.
The experiments, of which it is proposed to give an account here, were
accordingly, not confined to an investigation of the phenomena presenting
themselves in sterilised specimens of milk, but dealt with the fluid as ordinarily
supplied for use in the European houses and native bazaars of Calcutta, with
specimen's procured under Special precautions against contamination; with speci-
mens which had been boiled, and with others which had been really sterilised:
The results have been included in tabular form in order, so far as possible, to
avoid tedious repetition of details in the text, which can thus be confined to the
description of the general 'phenomena presenting themselves in each group of
experiments
