fo the Editor of the "Norta-Cura Dairy News."
Sin,—You record to-day that "Zung Ab-hoo Ticensee of the China Trust Dairy, 77 Route Dupleix, was fined the maximum penalty of $100 for selling milk adulterated with 8.3 per cent. added water."
Considering that this same dairy was fined only last month as well as last year, the case deserves the fullest publicity. Dysentery has taken more than its usual toll this year amongst the foreign community, no doubt a great deal of this particular disease can be traced to milk. $100 fine month in and month out makes little difference. Might I make the by-no-means original suggestion, that when the maximum penalty has been imposed the licensee concerned be sent to prison and the dairy closed, and in the interim the foreigners using such dairies pass an occasional early morning bottle on fo the public analyst for inspection.
