TUBERCULOSIS TYPHOID AND EVEN
SORE THROAT SPREAD BY BAD MILK
By WILLIAM A. EVANS, NJ. D,

noCTOR FURRER, assistant secretary
u of the Cleveland Milk Commission,
publishes in the Cleveland Medical Journal
HIS views on the relation of milk TO disease.
We are now at the Threshold Of the season
OF bad milk. Before the cool weather comes
there will be good many thousand deaths
among those who disregard such opinions
as those of Doctor Furrer.
Pure milk is now recognized to be quite
as significant of the sanitary index or
community as pure water Many COM
munities now have pure water, Whenever
a community has a typhoid death rate OF
less than ten, IL can be assumed that the
water Is reasonably pure No community
has anywhere near a pure milk supply
Purifying the milk supply Is tagging 20
years behind publication OF the water
supply.
'AIiIk-borne epidemics are as reprehen-
sible as is drinking water contaminated
by sewage" In our large cities more
typhoid and other forms OF preventable
diseases are spread by milk than by water.
"Giveu a pure milk supply, our mortality
will be substantially reduced. Especially
IS this true OF infant mortality" with
which conclusion every one OF experience
agrees.
Injected milk spreads tuberculosis,
dlphtheria, scarlet fever, typhoid and septic
sore throat"
milk IN Cleveland Is divided into grades
A, B and C. Grade A is certified milk
Grade 3 Is pasteurized market milk Grade
g Is ordinary market milk unpasteurlzed
Grade A may be consumed raw or modified
especially for infants 1t Is used chiefly by
the wellto-do and middle classes. Grade Il
Is used by all classes and Is safe II properly
pasteurized Grade c Is chiefly used by the
poor or uniformed, and used raw is
menace to the consumer and TO the COM
munity."
Many communities, especially in the East.
now require that milk shall be graded
into grades A. B and c. The grades
recognized by these laws are those recon-
mended by the commission on milk
atandards These standards are:
Grade A-Raw, virtually certified milk |
Grade A-PasteuFized very high grade |
milk properly pasteurized,
Grade B-Ordinary market milk OF good /
grade, made safe from typhoid, tubercu-
Iosis, scarlet fever and other forms OF in
lection BY pasteurizatiOn.
Grade C-Coohing milk.
Grade @ milk, as described by Doctor
Furrer must be improved IN quality and
,asteurized, whereupon Il Is transferred TO
lrade b. That which Is not so improved
annot be used except for cooking and man
featuring The proportion Of the total
lilk now used FOR cooking and manufactur-
lg j very large. A system by which an

lctufiss Is from grade C would save money |
