Public Health (Prevention of Tuberculosis) Regulations, 1925.
These Regulations have been found helpful from a preventative
point of view in dissuading persons known to be tuberculous
from entering the milk trade, and inducing relatives of persons
engaged in the milk trade from refusing institutional treatment.
It has fortunately not been necessary to take formal action under
these Regulations or to serve notices, as required under Section 5.
