"The state board of health called
my attention to numerous instances
where the milk taken from milk

the repeated occurrences Of this kind
it seems necessary to start general
campaign against it. You will from
time to time getinformation from the
state laboratory of hygiene as to the
analysis of milk taken from dealers
in your county. This letter is to
urge YOU to Immediately prosecute
such offenders as vigorously as pos
sible, so that it will be generally
understood that the prosecuting
officers mean to follow to swift con-
clgsion all miraculous of the law in
this particular"

they can filter and strain from the

suffer from any urinary trouble
whatever, should not hesitate to
make UP the mixtNre, as it is Ger
