supplied is, for the most part, too old,
too dirty and too warm. Milk is not
kept cold, especially in transit.
THE dangers of warm milk in which
bacteria and their toxic products de-
,velop to a dangerous degree are now
well known. The location of many
diaries Is pernicious. The sta
Eles in the rear of practically all the
dairies provide breeding places for
swarms of insects. . . In some in
stances the water-closcts are too
near. Only one of the diaries was
properly screened. =. b.. At most of
the diaries the hands of the employees
who come in contact with the milk
were dirty and their clothing not
changed or covered with clean
apron. The milk passes through
too many hands and is exposed too
many times before It reaches the
consumer.
We have been using milk for sew
cral months brought us by Portu-
guese whose cows seemed to be heal
thy. The other day they were all
condemned as tuberculous! But ev-
cry drop of this milk we had thor
cughly boiled.
In healthy place like Kona one
would not suppose, and so on. No;
one would not suppose many things.
II is our business in this day and age
TO take nothing for granted which we
do not know. And the man who does
not take measures to avoid the dan
gers of infected water and milk is a
darn fool
And If your doctor says 1t is a mat
ter of small consequence; IL he takes
serm life and toxines in rather jok-
ing way, drop him. II is the great
business of physician to prevent
disease in every possible way. And
everything that he can say and do to
ICut down his revenue from actual
sickness among his patients, IL is his
duty to say and do.
The world has no use, and souldn't
have any. for a physician who is not
