At the Sanitary Institute at South
ampton DR.. Manly stated that several
outbreaks of typhoid fever in Liver
pool had been traced to contaminated
ice cream. Since 1898 319 persons had
applied to the Liverpool health author
tiles for permission to sell ice cream,
and Sc had been told that owing to
unsuitability Of premises they must
make other arrangements. There had
been two convictions. and in one
case the stipendiary magistrate re-
marked that the best punishment for
the defendant would be to make him
live on his own ice cream for time.
DR.. Manly stated that Glasgow had
adopted similar policy to Liverpool,
and advised local authorities to apply
for parliamentary powers on the lines
of those granted by the Liverpool act
of 1898.
