No. 916. No tubercle bacilli could be found. The milk was normal.
No. 917. No tubercle bacilli could be found, despite the fact that there is
a certain quantity of pus and no sufficiency of streptococci or other
organism to account for it.

leucocytes than normal.
No. 7. No tubercle bacilli could be found. There was a distinct amount of
pus together with streptococci. I should consider that this evidence
pointed to a simple (i.e., non-tuberculous) mastitis.
No. 8. No tubercle bacilli could be found. The milk was normal with
regard to leucocytes, but contained a very large number of bacteria.
No. 9. Neither tubercle nor pus could be found, but there was a very
large number of organisms present.
No. 10. No tubercle bacilli could be found. Both pus and blood were
found, and a large number of diplococci. This, I think, pointed to an
acute mastitis.

No. 13. No tubercle bacilli could be found. There was a slight excess of
leucocytes, and the milk was very dirty.
No. 14. No tubercle bacilli could be found. There was a small amount of
pus and numerous streptococci and diplococci. This was, I think,
evidence of a non-tuberculous mastitis.
