THE TALK OF THE TOWN

"SAFEMILK"

FLASH!

Milk is Nature's Finest Food, but it carries dangers unless scientifically handled. Medical opinion agrees that MILK MUST BE MADE SAFE.

THE BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION,

Representing 37,000 Doctors in all branches of the profession,

has recently published a disquieting resolution declaring that "only milk complying with the conditions required for the designations tuberculin tested' or 'pasteurised', or preferably both, can be safely consumed without boiling".

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS,

In the Bulletin of its Health Organisation, has also declared that “all liquid milk for human consumption should be adequately pasteurised or boiled".

SIR LEONARD HILL, M.B., F.R.S., LL.D.,

Who is the Supervisor of the St. John Clinic and Institute of Physical Medicinė, has said: "There are some 2,000 deaths a year of children from bovina tuberculosis, while a hideous amount of crippling and suffering results therefrom...... All milk infection can be stopped from to-morrow. by officient pasteurisation.
