256 TESTIMONY OF CHARLES A. DOEEMUS. 



Q. "Well, what was the difference between that and other milk 

 under the microscope ? A. Besides the ordinary fat globules it 

 contained those globules which appeared to my limited knowledge 

 of such subjects to be pus globules. 



Q. Do you know whether pus globules might not appear in any 

 milk a week old ? A. I have read about pus ever since I began to 

 study chemistry ; I always understood, though I am not a physician, 

 that pus was a morbid secretion which formed in sores, and if that 

 is the case it could not possibly be generated in milk, no matter how 

 long you kept it. 



Q. Might it not have been contained in milk when it came from 

 the cow? A. Yes, sir. 



Q. How soon would the presence of pus in pure milk, I mean 

 milk as it came from the cow, ordinarily become apparent ? A. Any 

 time after it came from the cow when examined by the micro- 

 scope. 



Q. Do you deem a microscopic examination of milk necessary to 

 show whether in its original state it contained pus globules ? A. 

 It might be desirable as one of the many methods of investigating 

 milk. 



Mr. PRENTICE May it please the Court, that closes our case. 



CHARLES A. DOREMUS recalled by Mr. LAWRENCE : 



Q. Did you receive a portion of the contents of bottle No. 3 of 

 milk procured at Mulford's December 18, being the same bottle of 

 which a portion was delivered to Dr. Chandler ? A. I did, sir. 



Q. "Was it subject to chemical analysis ? A. It was to a partial 

 chemical analysis, the result of which I have here, simply as to the 

 constituents of water and caseine, not to a microscopical examina- 

 tion. 



By the COURT Q. You stated what per cent, of water? A. I 

 did the per cent, of water, caseine and sugar. 



By Mr. LAWRENCE Q. State the results of the examination of 

 the milk I refer to ? A. I placed some milk on the slide of the 

 microscope and examined it under the microscope to see if any- 

 thing abnormal might be found ; this was a sample from the Black 

 cow which was kept in court.
