PUBLIC HEALTH (CONDENSED MILK) REGULATIONS, 1923.
One sample has been purchased under the above Regulations during
1925, but others will be purchased before the end of the financial year
(which is also the end of our sampling year, viz., March 31st).
PUBLIC HEALTH (DRIED MILK) REGULATIONS. 1923.
There have been no samples of Dried Milk purchased for analysis.
Endeavours have been made from time to time to purchase samples, but
apparently it is not on sale. The reason given is that on account of the
number of Welfare Centres where this article can be obtained at a low
cost, it does not pay the shopkeeper to stock it.
