At the last meeting of the Municipal |
League, DR.. j. Henry Jackson spoke at |
some length on the danger Of tuberculosis |
from diseased milk supplies, illustrating his |
ideas with cases that had come under his |
personal observation. His remarks made o |
strong impression on all who heard him. |
He said that In his Judgment this subject
was OF more Importance to the inhabitants
OF Barre than was the recent stir that has
been made over the water supply. He some
what startled his hearers by stating that Of
three recent deaths from tuberculosis that
had come under his personal knowledge,
an investigation and examination Of the
milk used by these patients had shown the
presence Of bacilli. The doctor said that
ty phoid germs may be fatal but tubercu-
losis germs are sure to be. III the discussion
among the members OF the league that DR..
Jackson's well.guarded words has precip-
itated shall result in inducing the milkmen
of Barre to have their cows tested, or of in.
ducing their customers to insist that this
shall be done. q long step towards Sc
curing pure milk supply will be taken.
