Abstract
JUST over three hundred years ago, Sir Hugh Myddleton built his New River to furnish a better water supply to London. Like a watch tower, the Town Hall at Palmer's Green, from which the present book was written, overlooks the old New River. To-day the supplying of water to cities is a problem of quantity rather than of purity; but regarding the purity of milk we have not much to boast about: we are in the stage only of emerging from uncleanliness. Provided it obtains the attention it deserves, this book should help considerably towards formulating, and indeed implementing, a positive policy of cleanliness in the production of milk.
