The psychological analysis of

The analysis of samples 1926 27-2S

present in 1000 C. amounts in any
but No. 1927 obtained at the railway
round house. These samples re-
presented the treated supply, and the
low count and absence of B coli in
all but one instance, show the eff

The presence of B. coli in 100 C. C.
