THE SANITARY FACTORS 107 



opinion is reflected by the Commission on Milk Stand- 

 ards, which has made the following unanimous recom- 

 mendation: 



Pasteurization is necessary for all milk at all times, ex- 

 cepting Grade A, raw milk. The majority of the commis- 

 sioners voted in favor of the pasteurization of all milk, in- 

 cluding Grade A, raw milk. 25 * 



In view of the present status of the matter, it is 

 scarcely necessary here to go into the details of the 

 case for pasteurization, which have been abundantly 

 set down elsewhere, 26 nor to dwell on objections which 

 have been disproved. 



ALL " " MILK 



is raised within 40 miles of the city, and does not 

 leave our own care from the farm to your door. 



It is fresh, normal milk, not " pasteurized " scalded, 

 or heated in any way. 



Cattle, barns, food and water constantly inspected 

 by our own veterinary, and milk daily examined and 

 tested by Professor of . 



It is a daily milk Inspected, Bottled, Shipped, 

 Delivered and Guaranteed daily. 



FIG. 14. COMMERCIAL APPEAL ON SANITARY GROUNDS 

 This firm, a rival of the foregoing, argues on a decidedly 

 different basis. This milk might be guaranteed clean and 

 fresh, but not necessarily free from infection, as was shown 

 by an extensive epidemic of septic sore throat traced to 

 the supply. The firm afterwards adopted pasteurization. 



The matter of pasteurization is now one, not of theoretical 

 debate, but of practical application. 



Objections on dietetic grounds have been based upon 



* The Commission's recommendations as to grades (see Appendix B) 

 make pasteurization of Grade A milk optional.
