Bacteriological Examinations.—Arrangements have also been made
with the Clinical Research Association for the bacteriological examination
of samples of milk under the Milk (Special Designations) Order, 1923.
Four samples were submitted for investigation during the year, each of
which was found to be satisfactory in character.
DISSEMINATION OF KNOWLEDGE AS TO NUTRITION.
Advice as to the necessity for a high standard of purity and quality
in relation to food is given by the staff of the Public Health Department.
In addition, lectures and film demonstrations on Health topics, including
Diet, are given from time to time at the premises of the Chelsea Health
Society. Leaflets are also issued to expectant and nursing mothers
which are of great assistance in focussing attention on this important
subject.
The desire of the public to consume a natural product, or at least that
they should be made aware if offered an artificial substitute, has found
expression in the Artificial Cream Act, 1929.
