D. Raw Milk Causes Tuberculosis. 



One hundred and ninety-one tuberculous cows were taken 

 out of the most celebrated certified dairy herd of 632 animals 

 in November, 1914. In December, 72 tuberculous cows 

 were found in a herd of 86 in a model dairy where every ex- 

 pense and precaution had been taken. 



Tuberculosis is very common and the majority of dairy 

 herds contain tuberculous cows. 



Authorities estimate that 75 to 90 per cent of human 

 beings have tuberculosis at some time during their lives. 

 Most of this is human, but some of it is bovine. 



Tabulation by Park and Krumwiede of 1038 cases of 

 tuberculosis showed the following: 



Cases Bovine Per cent 



Adults over 16 years 686 9 1.3 



Children 5 to 16 years 132 33 25
