Milk Contained Dangerous Organisms.
EDITOR RECORD:
Our attention having been called to a
slight mistake in the heading Of an
article in last weeks issue Of The
Record, with reference 10 the examina-
tion of samples of milk, we wish TO
state that the report from Bacteriologi-
cal Laboratory while 1t stated that germs
were found resembling the typhoid
bacilli, it did no5 state definitely that
they were typhoid germs. The report,
however, stated that when experiments
were used on animals with the milk,
the animals died inside of t~wenty.four
hours. and further that the milk con
tanned dangerous organisms, and was
unfit for use. A SUBSCRIBER.
