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.
