Clean milk

Abstract

It may seem to some that an explanation should be made in bringing this subject of Clean Milk before -the members of this Society. It is, however, in my opinion, a subject well worthy of discussion, for surely the health of the people is a matter for social inquiry, and I hope to show that the provision of clean milk is of the highest importance from the stand point of health. While milk is a useful but not indispensable article of diet with adults, it is an absolute necessity to infants and young children. Since the cow is, in Ireland, the chief source of our milk, it is with the dangers and difficulties of the use of cow's milk that I am chiefly concerned.
