312 APPENDIX I 



The report contains an amazing array of evidence of the 

 responsibility of infected milk for epidemics of typhoid fever, 

 scarlet fever, and diphtheria. Past Assistant Surgeon General 

 John W. Trask has tabulated the data of 500 epidemics that 

 were definitely traced to the milk supplies, including 317 

 typhoid epidemics, 125 scarlet fever, 51 diphtheria, and 7 of 

 pseudo-diphtheria, or epidemic sore throat.
