to hospital or sanatoria.
Public Health (Prevention of Tuberculosis) Regulations, 1925.
—These Regulations confer powers upon local authorities enabling
them to prevent persons suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis from
entering the milk trade and to require persons to discontinue any
occupation involving the handling of milk when they are found to
be suffering from the disease in an infective stage.
Fortunately, it has not been necessary to take formal action
under the Regulations.
