The further bacteriological reports made after a fuller examination were to
the effect that
"One of the bottles contained visible dirt. The deposit consists mainly of
"extraneous matter (vegetable and mineral debris) and of bacteria, which are
"present in enormous numbers. In addition there is a high cell content
"mainly composed of polymorphonuclears, evidence of the presence of a trace
"of pus. Some long streptococci are present, and in my opinion the milk is
"quite unfit for human consumption."
The facts were reported to the Public Health Committee and instructions to
proceed were given. The result of the proceedings is stated above. It may be
added that the sale of pasteurized milk by the vendor has now ceased in the
borough.
