PLEUROPNEUMONIA. 
From the above results I have no hesitancy in pronouncing 
these samples of milk not only unwholesome, but in consequence 
of the very low percentage of fat, innutritions, and showing in 
every way what a depreciating effect unwholesome and insuffi¬ 
cient food has upon this important secretion. 
I think the above samples are a fair average of the milk 
yielded by cows penned and imperfectly nourished as those at 
the Blissville dairy. 
I have already adduced facts to show that at this place every 
condition which is necessary for the maintenance of the health 
and lives of these unfortunate creatures are disregarded to a de¬ 
gree that might with just propriety excite our condemnation. 
Not only should pity for these abused and wretched animals, 
so necessary and so useful to man, lint also that highest humanity, 
the care for human life, demand that such disgusting establish¬ 
ments as these be forever abolished. 
Respectfully submitted, 
J. Blake White, M.D., 
Assistant Sanitary Inspector.

justice to myself, and in order to avoid any misinterpretation by 
the experts of your Board, I must inform you that 1 gave no 
authority for the publication of my opinion in any shape what¬ 
soever. Further than that, I made a merely microscopical exam-
