swrLL MILK vs.. PURE MILK.

In reply 10 a letter from Andrew Banks, Esa.,
member Of the Legislature from Baltimore county
Dr. Riggin Duekler, Of Baltimore, wrote the fol-
lowing letter which contains matter Of interest to
the public generally. The DIR. says:
''In response to your request have no hesita-
ton in saying that regard the milk from cows
fed ON distilcry slop rs utterly unfit for use and
even dangerous rs an article Of food. Nv own
personal experience aud statistics In regard TO
this matter enable me TO recall several instances
where the death Of healthy handled infants was
traced solely 20 diseases Of tho digestive organs
caused BY the use Of swill" milk the facts In the
case being such as TO occasion no doubt whatever.
II Is within the knowledge Of every one who
knows anything about n dairy farm that the
health and finally the life Of the COW is sacrificed
by this sort OF food, aud necessarily a sick COW
cannot yield healthy milk. Moreover Il has been
conciusively established by careful analysis and
comparison Of the two milks (swill and grass fed,
that the former yields less butter and sugar whilst
the casenc Ccurd) aud earthly salts are Ia excess.
Al n temperature Of ninety eight degrees Fahren-
hett normal temperature Of human stomaeh) Il
requires six houIs for its coagulaton while dairy
milk coagulaies In one. This explains its indi.
gestibity and the inability Of the stomach aud
intestinal glands TO assimilate Il rs food; hence
NO know why u causes such frequent disturbances
In the digestive organs. and why infants fed on
this kind Of milk do not thrive.
"In regard TO the bill referred to in your postal,
consider Il among the most important ofthe ses-
zion In political as we'll humanitarian sense,
for how can We expect 70 rear q healthy race Of
men and women when constitutions have been
sapped BY bad feeding in early childhood1 and
A. regards the helpless infant. think II the duty

lators. TO do all In their power 10 SEQ that their
food isnottamperel with or drawn from unhealthy
sources. You will have some difficulty In the pro.
visions Of this bill in order 10 NEE, the ends you
desire, because In every conceivable way its
will be evaded.
Let me suggest that in the Office Of the inspec-
tor registry shall be kept open 10 the public In
which u 20 be recorded list Of the milk produ.
