Im Uebrigen ist grosste Sauberkeit der Stalle, Reinigung der Enter sowie der Hande des Melkers vor dem Melken und peinlichste Reinhaltung der Milchgerate dringend zu forderu. Ausserdem ist die Milch nach dem Melken aus den allgemein bekaunten Griinden mittels besonderer Kuhlvorrichtungen abzukiihlen und wo immer moglich sterilisirt, sonst aber ipit dem geringsten Zeitverlust den Oonsumenten zu uberbringeu. ><>c> DISCUSSION.

Such milk could only be banished from the market if the milk-supply rvere controlled by Government officials. Dr. Ostertag urged that only pure milk should be tolerated in the market—that was, milk obtained with the greatest cleanliness from healthy animals, possessing normal physical qualities and a certain degree of strength. For sanitary reasons the following kinds of milk must be excluded from the market:—(1.) Milk which, without being necessarily prejudicial to health, was peculiar in colour, taste, or consistence [nauseous milk] j (2.) All milk that was prejudicial to health, or which was suspected, on good grounds, of being so. To the first group belonged colostral milk, blue, red, and yellow milk; also, slimy, thready, bitter, salt, as well as abnormally smelling milk, and milk that had been made impure by mud or other substances. The milk of animals that had been fed on poisonous fodder, or that had been treated with certain medicaments, and of those suffering from tuberculosis, malignant pustule, cow-pox, foot-and-mouth disease, or of those generally ill in consequence of](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b28045452_0168.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
