DR.. G. J. Whaien, the efficient Health
Commissioner Of Chicago, reported the
condemnation Of nearly four million
pounds of meat during the four months
ending December 30. 1906.
Now 81 per cent Of these 4,0O0. 600
pounds were found to be afflicted with
tuberculosis.
Every ounce OF these 1900, 900
pounds belonged to the main carcass
and had passed government inspection.
What about the hearts, livers, lights,
intestlnes. fats, blood, tripe and othss
inside belongings Of these tuberculosis
cattle from which 100000 pounds Of
tuberculosis and cancerOus meat were
found and condemned?
They were sold to the people and
eaten 40 food!
The Cancer Trust and the Tubercu
losls Trust are still doing business.
Talk about government inspection!
We take the following from the last
annual report OF DR.. Charles J. Whalen
Commissioner OF Health of the city OF
Chicago. The facts speak for them
selves.
"At the Union Stock Yards during
the last i've months Of the year, sever
inspectors 1--we Of whom were appoint
ed In N0vember) have condemned and
destroyed 2.704, 0SS pounds Of meat. al
being unnt for food; all OF which
would have been sold In the city OF Chi
cago. and for which the purchase
would have paid hrstclass prices."
