24:6 TESTIMONY OF ELWYN WALLER. 



Q. From the inspection of that milk and the test with the lac- 

 tometer and the evidence of your senses did you regard that milk to 

 be pure wholesome milk? A. I should not judge from the experi- 

 ments, from the other samples. 



Q. If you had not the other samples and should find a sam- 

 ple of milk standing at 103 J by the lactometer, which, upon 

 analysis, would not show any abnormal condition, would not you 

 regard that as pure wholesome milk? A. Well, if I applied all my 

 senses to it ; I did not apply the sense of taste to that ; I did not 

 test any of the samples of milk. 



Q. Did you regard that standing at 103J as the other which 

 stood at 78 ? 



(Objected to ; objection sustained.) 



Q. Have you any of those samples here which stood over 100 ? 

 A. I have not. 



Q. How many samples have you got here ? A. I brought three 

 samples. 



Q. And all those stood below 100 ? A. All those stood below; 

 one of them but one degree below. 



Q. Upon your analysis of the milk of the cow Mooley did you 

 discover anything abnormal about that ? A. Not so far as I got ; 

 the percentage of water is about correct with the exception of & 

 strong alkaline reaction which is in itself suspicious as to the qual- 

 ity of the milk. 



Q. Will you explain what you mean by alkaline reaction ? A. 

 It turns the testing-paper blue. 



Q. Well, did you regard that as pure wholesome milk from the 

 cow Mooley ? A. I should hardly think it was. 



Q. That I understand you to say stood at 99 or 98^, which is- 

 it? A. I made it 99. 



Q. Now the milk from the cow Fanny which had nearly 87 per 

 cent, of water, what did your analysis determine there ? A. The 

 same as in the case of the cow Mooley. 



Q. What inference did you deduce or what did you conclude 

 from this alkaline reaction being apparent in those samples ? A. 

 That there was something abnormal in the milk ; what I could not 

 tell. 



Q. You could not tell what it was ? A. No, not without any
