Dr. Critchley, acting County Medical Officer of Health for West Suffolk, states in a report that in the Newmarket district the train- Ing and breeding of racehorses is the only industry which seems to have any particular unfavourable influence upon the public health.
"A man occupied in this trade," he writes, "appears to be very prone to pulmonary tuberculosis, probably on account
of the per- petual under-feeding and inten- sive training necessary to keep his weight under a certain limit. As a result, the death-rate from tuberculosis la higher in New- market than in West Suffolk as a whole.
