AN EXPERIMENT ON HOGS.

By Charles E. Stewart, M.D.

An interesting and practical result has been obtained by the feeding of four pigs on milk from tubercular animals. Two of the pigs were fed on the milk just as it came from the cows; the other two were fed on milk said to have been sterilized. A post-mortem examination of these animals showed each to be extensively diseased with tuberculosis. It is not to be wondered at that the ones fed on the untreated milk were diseased, but when all were found to be tubercular, the veterinary surgeons concluded that the milk either had not been thoroughly sterilized or that the animals had contracted the disease from some other source.—Charles E. Stewart, M.D., in Good Health, September.
