222 THE MILK SITUATION IN THE DISTKICT OF COLUMBIA. 



Yes. (Dr. Samuel McC. Hamill, Philadelphia, Pa.) 



Depends upon circumstances; modification; condition of infant. (Health offi- 

 cer Scranton, Pa.) 



QUESTION 20. Is it as susceptible to deterioration as raw milkf 



ANSWERS. 



There is probably no difference if both are prepared and handled Under 

 similar sanitary conditions. (Chief Bureau of Animal Industry.) 



Yes. (Surgeon General U. S. Army.) 



Probably more. (Surgeon General U. S. Navy.) 



Milk is not modified in order to render it less susceptible to deterioration, 

 but to better meet the needs of infants for whom it is intended. (Surgeon 

 General Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service.) 



Yes; for the same reason. (Dr. Henry L. Coit, Newark, N. J.) 



Yes. (Dr. R. G. Freeman, New York, N. Y.) 



Yes. (Dr. C. E. A. Winslow, New York, N. Y.) 



Yes; all depending on interpretation of "modified milk." (Health officer 

 Ann Arbor, Mich.) 



Depends upon conditions. (Health officer Baltimore, Md.) 



No. (Health officer Bismarck, N. Dak.) 



No. (Health officer Cleveland, Ohio.) 



Why not/ (Health officer Columbus, Ohio.) 



Yes. (Health officer Detroit, Mich.) 



Yes. (Health officer Jacksonville, Fla.) 



Yes. (Health officer Kansas City, Mo.) 



Modified milk may be raw milk ; ought to be. (Health officer Lynchburg, Va.) 



What do you consider modified milk? We modify milk for infant feeding. 

 (Health officer Portland, Oreg.) 



Yes. (Health officer Providence, R. I.) 



Yes. (Health officer Richmond, Va.) 



Yes. (Health officer Seattle, Wash.) 



Yes. (Health officer Syracuse, N. Y.) 



Yes. (Health officer Topeka, Kans.) 



Probably; if exposed to infection after pasteurization. When sealed, it will 

 keep for days. We sell it fresh every day, however, and only enough for one 

 day at a time. (Straus Laboratory, Washington, D. C.) 



This also depends on what it is modified with. (Sharon Dairy, District of 

 Columbia. ) 



If it is modified condensed milk, it possesses much better keeping qualities 

 than either raw or pasteurized milk. (Borden's Condensed Milk Co., New 

 York,N.Y.) 



As there has been no chemical change in the different constituents, it is as 

 susceptible to deterioration as any other milk. (Walker-Gordon Laboratory, 

 Washington, D. C.) 



Yes. (Dr. V. C. Vaughan, Ann Arbor, Mich.) 



Practically so. (Dr. S. C. Prescott, Boston, Mass.) 



No; as most of the modified milks are made up of high-grade raw milk as a 

 basis. Most of the raw milks come from indifferent sources. (J. M. Houston, 

 White Cross Milk Co., Washington, D. C.) 



Yes; if modified by dilution and addition of other substances. (Health 

 officer San Francisco, Cal.) 



Yes. (Dr. Samuel McC. Hamill, Philadelphia, Pa.) 



No. (Health officer Scranton, Pa.) 



QUESTION 21. Is it susceptible to deterioration as pasteurised mtilkf 



ANSWERS. 



There is probably no difference if both are prepared and handled under simi- 

 lar sanitary conditions. (Chief Bureau of Animal Industry.) 



Yes. (Surgeon General U. S. Army.) 



About the same. (Surgeon General U. S. Navy.) 



Modified milk is often pasteurized, and it should be given equal or greater 

 care than whole pasteurized milk in order to guard against deterioration because 

 of the class of population that uses it. (Surgeon General Public Health and 

 Marine-Hospital Service.)
