OFFICIALS WARN OF BRUCELEOSIS
'UnduIant Fever Presents Perennial Problem to
 Health Authorities

The weekly broadcast of the State Department of Health dealt with the problem of brucellosis. more commonly known as undulant fever, three members of the stah taking mart in the discussion-Doctor Eu" Rene E. Lamoureux, epidemiologist: Elizabeth c. Nickerson, director or the bureau of Public Health ln- struction and Mrs. Robert Grosch.
 It was brought out that the state epidemiologists are called In ny the local health ofilcer to assist him m locating the source of bruceliosls when a case has been reported 70 him. ~
 The source is invariably raw milk or milk products but occasionally from the handling of infected ani- mals. When the raw milk from a given herd is located as the possible source of the disease, the first step is for the dairy and food commits sioner to confirm this by having all the milk tested at the State Depart" ment of Health laboratories.
 The dairyman is then requested to do one of two things-have his herd tested for Bangs disease and eliminate the infected animals. or to have all of his milk pasteurized. The test for Bangs disease is under the control of the commissioner on domestic animals. The dairyman can be reimbursed for the infected COWS that have to be eliminated. As a rule the dairyman meets both re- quests and has all the milk pas- teurized.
 As the public becomes aware of the danger of raw milk which can cause not only brucellosis. but other diseases the germs of which reach the milk through milk handlers. they will demand regulations for pasteurized milk in their commit nifty. Most of the larger cities now sell nothing but pasteurized milk.

Appeals For Medical
 Supplies For Italy
Prof. Arturo CastgOni, Member of Vale Medical Staff,
 Directing Special Campaign for War Victims

Medicine is human. That is It's purpose. I appeal to all doctors, regardless of political or social dif- ferences, to help the people of lib- erated Italy. These people not only need food, but they need medicine, too"
 Professor Castiglioni is famous in international professional circles for the medical books he has written. He published Q number of them in Italy and also has written several since his arrival in the United States. His books have been dis- tributed widely throughout Europe, the United states and Latin Amer lea.
 On April 10, Professor Castielioni was honored at the Hotel Waldorf Astoria, when leaders of medicine feted him at a dinner on his roth birthday.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-07-28

Professor Arturo Castiglioni, a political refugee from Italy and currently on the faculty ct Yale University Medical School, is enc listing the doctors of America in Q drive to aid the needy people of liberated Italy. This was aI1- nounced today by Judge Juvenal Marchisio, president of American Relief for Italy, Inc.
 Professor Castiglioni already has organized a group of doctors, also refugees from Italy, and Is seeK- ing the cooperation of State, Mu- nicipal and County medical societies throughout the United States. He has written to . great number or them and is making personal ap- peals to others.
 His purpose in forming this medi- cal adjunct of American Keller TOT Italy, Inc, is for doctors throughout the country to contribute medical supplies and surgical instruments to be shipped overseas.
 American Relief for Italy, Inc, a member agency of the National war Fund, already has been granted shipping space by the War and State Departments for l.OOO,OOC pounds of reprocessed clothing and ee5O 900 worth of relief supplies.
 Before coming to the United States, Professor Castigliont was a member of the faculty at the Uni. versity of Padua. He also served as Q member of the High Council m Rome, which laid down the health policies for all of Italy.
 In 1883 he accepted an invitation from Johns Hopkins University and spent three month there as visiting professor. In 1887 he accepted a similar invitation from Yale Uni- versity.
 Two years later, because he had refused to join the Fascist Party. Professor Castiglioni was compelled to resign from the University of Padua. In November of that year. he escaped from Italy and came to the United States. Subsequently he was given . chair at Yale Unsver- sity.
 "We have . great need of medical supplies in Italy," Professor Casti" wlioni declared. "There is need for bandages, medical instruments and remedies, such as insuhn and 10" dine. I ask the doctors of America to contribute what they can cf these necessities.
