RICHMOND MILK
FULL Of bAC|LL|
INVESTIGATIONS OF STATE DE-
PARTMENT SHOWS HERD SUI
FER FROM TUBERCULOSIS.
THE CITY SHOULD ACT
HEALTH DEPARTMENT SLOW IN
LOOKING AFTER SUPPLY THAT
ENTERS CITY--MANY cows
WERE FOUND UNFIT.

Judging from recent discoveries
made by representatives of the State
dairy and food department, it appears
that large portion of the milk sup
ply of the city of Richmond is con-
taminated with tubercular bacilli. The
urgent need of a thorough inyestiaa-
ton is manifest.
Recently herd of cattle in Ches-
terfeld county, serving milk to Rich
mond patrons, was tested under the
supervision OF the State dairy and
food department, and twenty-one out
OF twenty-four COWS were found to be
suffering from tuberculosis in an ag-
Eravateu form. Other tests have been
made outside of Richmond and in
almost every Instance more than 80
per cent of the cows tested have
reacted, showing the presence of the
disease. All the time these cows have
been supplying infected milk to the
people OF Richmond.
Two cows which were recently
tested were found to be absolutely
permeated with tubercular germs
They were in such terrible condition
that death saved the dairy and food
department the trouble of slaughter
ing them. And still they had been
giving milk which was sold to unsus-
pecting customers In the city.
Developments of the past few days,
which cannot be detailed for peculiar
reasons, have thrown new light on the
situation, which is serious in tho ex-
treme.
The necessity that some steps be
taken to prevent the spread OF tuber-
losis is urgent.
On the face Of the proposition, the
remedy seems 10 be in the power OF
the city health authorities. The State
dairy and food department has no
power to make tests except upon ap-
plication OF the owner OF the herd or
where there is positive evidence OF
the presence of the disease.
The city health department hax the
legal right to test any cow In the city
or any COW which furnishes milk to
the city. The ordinance requiring
such tests, however, allows the health
department until September. 1915. to
complete the undertaking, and there
seems to he no disposition TO COM
plete the tests before the time limit
expires.
Very few. if any. OF the herds In
the city have been tested recently, The
Nirginian is informed. II the city
would require that all milk sold here
should be pasteurized, this would re-
lieve the present extremely dangerous
condition. However. this has nor ncen
done. and the herds are not being
tested.
There Is special danger of the dis
ease being contracted through infect
ed milk during the hot summer
months, when more milk is consumed
than at any other time OF the year.
~ l-4-s and sick persons aeciallE are
likely to pay the penalty for lack
of precaution.
Ono bareavad father whose son had
lust died from tuberculosis. stated
few days ago that he was positive his
son had contracted the disease through
contaminated milk. as there was no
other possible way of his having con-
tracted the disease. and the other
members Of his family had used milk
from the same source
