The milk had been contaminated after being drawn from the cow by some substance so noxious that when it was administer ed to rats they died. The milk when examined microscopically was found to contain numerous micrococol and bacto- rin spores, whirls were the probable cause of the disease. It was found that the water used in the dairy was collected, amongst other suspicious sources, from roadside ditches and a cistern in the. pyre.
