Milk and its Hygienic Relations

Abstract

THIS book is published under the auspices of the Medical Research Committee, which is charged with the administration of the Research Fund which has become available under the provisions of the National Insurance Act for the advancement of medical knowledge by research. Milk has very important relations to the public health, but the study of milk has been conducted by workers in chemistry, physiology, bacteriology, agricultural science, and clinical medicine, and the results of their researches have appeared in journals devoted to all these branches of science. With the view of collating this mass of literature, the Medical Research Committee invited Dr. Janet Lane-Claypon to assist them in collecting the available scientific evidence upon the hygienic relations of milk from all the best sources of information, however widely scattered, and the present volume is the outcome of her labours. Not only has a large mass of literature been abstracted, but critical summaries are provided in addition, and extensive bibliographies are appended to the subjects dealt with which will be very valuable to future workers.
