Because of a suspicion that the epidemic was started by milk, and as there was nothing to show positively whether it was infected be- fore or after its delivery, the health officials, when the cases were first re ported, suggested that Mr. Burt give up serving his customers pending an investigation. The latter was most { agreeable to such an idea and his co-operation was greatly appreciated by the authorities.
