To obviate any possible misconception on this
point it must be clearly understood that under
no circumstances, nor from any quarter, malgré
the certificate of a veterinarian will tuberculous
meat be passed by myself, or inspectors, at any
of the dead meat markets within the jurisdiction
of the Corporation of London; and, further,
that any person, irrespective of his rank,
attempting to poison the public with such stuff,
will be prosecuted and rendered liable to fine or
imprisonment.
The conclusion arrived at by the Congress of
Paris in 1888, and the subsequent adoption of
the principles above enunciated by the largest
municipalities, at home and abroad, fully justify
the foregoing remarks.
In all courtesy, and in full recognition of the
great advances made in veterinary science during
the last two or three decades, I respectfully
submit that the training and education of its
votaries afford no justification for the assumption
of opinions antagonistic to the experience of the
practical physician.
