Milk of Diseased Cow. It is an offence under this Act for any person to 

 consign, sell, offer or expose for sale or keep for sale for human food, or to use 

 or suffer to be used in the manufacture of products for human consumption, 

 the milk of any cow that is suffering from tuberculosis with emaciation, or from 

 tuberculosis of the udder, or from any sore on the teats accompanied by suppura- 

 tion or bleeding, or from any disease liable to infect or contaminate the milk, 

 or of any cow which is giving tuberculous milk, unless he proves that he did 

 not know and had no reason to suspect that the milk was the milk of such a cow. 



Dairyman to Notify Disease. A dairyman who has any cow which appears 

 to be suffering from any sore on the teats accompanied by suppurating or bleed- 

 ing, or from any disease liable to infect or contaminate milk, or any cow which 

 to his knowledge is giving tuberculous milk, shall give written notice to the L.A. 

 stating the situation of the dairy. 



Notification of Employees suffering from Disease. If any person resident 

 at or employed in connection with any dairy, or who resides in the same house 

 as any person so employed, shall show symptoms of any infectious disease, the 

 dairyman, on becoming aware thereof, shall report to the M.O.H. 



Persons suffering from Disease. No person may milk cows or handle milk 

 vessels who is suffering from or showing symptoms of any infectious disease, 

 or who is suffering from any suppurating sore or from sore throat or from 

 diarrhoea, unless he has a certificate from a medical practitioner that he may do 

 so without risk of spreading disease. No person may milk cows or handle milk 

 in any way who has been in contact with a person suffering from an infectious 

 disease, or who resides in a house where infectious disease exists. 



Procedure for Stoppage of Milk Supplies. If a M.O.H. has evidence that 

 any person is suffering from an infectious disease or any illness attributable to 

 milk, or that the milk of any dairy in his district is likely to cause such disease 

 or illness, he shall visit the dairy and examine all persons connected with the 

 dairy or with persons serving at the dairy, and he shall if necessary require 

 the V.I. to accompany him and examine the cattle. 



If a M.O.H. has evidence that any infectious disease or illness in his district 

 is attributable to milk coming from without his district, he shall notify the M.O.H. 

 concerned, who must then examine the persons in the dairy and the cattle, with 

 the V.I., as above. He must notify the M.O.H. making the complaint as to the 

 time of his intended visit so that the latter and the V.I. can be present if they 

 desire. 



Power to Enter and Inspect Dairies, &c. Within their district the L.A. and 

 any officers appointed by them for the execution of this Act shall have power to 

 enter, inspect and examine at all reasonable times any dairy, and for the purpose of 

 this Act the M.O.H. shall have power to examine any person employed or residing 

 at any dairy, and to require such person to provide him with such specimens of 

 mucus, urine or faeces as he may require for bacteriological examination, and the 

 V.I. shall have power to examine the cattle in any dairy, and every dairyman and 

 the persons in his employment shall give all reasonable facilities and assistance 

 to the L.A. and their officers in the execution of this Act. 



Power to take Samples of Milk. The M.O.H. or S.I. or V.I. may take 

 samples of milk which is sold or exposed or deposited for sale for examination. 



Power to apply Tuberculin Test. A V.I. may apply to any cow in any dairy 

 within the district the tuberculin or other reasonable test for the purpose of 

 discovering whether such cow is suffering from tuberculosis, provided that no 

 such test shall be applied except with the previous consent in writing of the 

 owner of the cow. 



Milk Depots. A L.A. may, subject to the consent of the L.G.B., establish 

 and maintain depots for the sale of milk specially prepared for consumption by
