at once instead of being compelled to wait until all the mischief
has been done. The custom of some purveyors of milk of obtaining
their daily supply from several sources is not in my judgment a

the source of infection, as it also increases the liability of the
purveyor to risk. Another circumstance which is apt to obscure
the source in these cases is that the various supplies are delivered
at different times and mixed together in the milk-shop. Hence,
one delivery to purchasers may be a mixture of milk from
various farms.
