REMEDIAL THEORIES AND EXPERIMENTS 205 



As in the case of Battersea and most other English 

 depots, Liverpool sterilizes the mixture sold at the 

 infants' depot. The mixture is bottled and then ster- 

 ilized, the temperature of the sterilizer being 210° 

 Fahrenheit and the exposure from twenty to thirty 

 minutes.

A municipal infants' milk depot of a very different 

 kind from either those of England or any of the coun- 

 tries of Continental Europe is the one in Rochester, 

 N.Y., which deserves special attention because of the 

 fact that it has discarded pasteurization and achieved 

 remarkable results through supplying clean, raw, 

 modified milk. The fame of Rochester's infant milk 

 depot * has spread throughout the world, so that to- 

 day its Health Officer, Dr. George W. Goler, is probably 

 even better known to the leaders of the medical pro- 

 fession throughout Europe than in this country.^^ 



To understand the " Rochester System " of supplying 



* Throughout this discussion I have used the singular noun 

 for the sake of simplicity. In some cities there is a single de- 

 pot, i.e., one place where milk is distributed. In other places 

 there are several. When I speak of the " Liverpool depot," 

 the " Rochester depot," and so on, the reader will please bear 

 in mind that there are sometimes several depots in some cities; 

 while in others, as in Rochester, there is a central station, or 

 depot, with a number of branch distributing stations. I could 

 not get the number of these branches in every case, — and, 

 anyhow, the number varies from year to year, — so I judged it 

 best to use the singular noun with this explanation.
