Dr. Reney said thet some of the cows in city stables were infected with disease, and if the animals were sent OL. Of town, as was proposed by the health code, the infection would spread throughout the country. The Doctor said that after the disease becomes chronic in these cattle the flesh may be eaten, but it would cause carbuncles and sores on those who partook of u. The compliint may spread from one animal to an- other by contact or smelling. The “stump. tail” cows. the Doctor said, are often sold for food. When they cease to give milk Profitab! they are fattened and killed for market. He alsc said that he had traced trichinia to beet, and cautioned farmers agains: purchasing swill-ted cows. These statements, with tbe exception of that relating to trichinia, are not new. The subject of diseased cows was fally ventilated years ago, during the swill-milk controversy, and every lady who purchased meat looked carefully for indications of dis. euse in it before invesung money This stare. ment about trichinosis m beef is unsupported, and should be received with due cautioo.
