Approved April 21, 1909. 



Attempts made by other medical milk commissions to have 

 protective legislation enacted have not been successful. Where 

 there is no legal protection for the term "certified milk," physicians 

 and consumers can be warned to buy no milk as certified milk 

 which does not bear the words on the certificate "certified by the 

 Medical Milk Commission."
