Furthermore that if a cowkeeper has a suspected animal,
and your Inspector is requested by him to take a sample
of the milk for bacteriological examination, I recommend
that you allow him to do so.

suffering from tuberculosis of the udder.
The neighbouring districts of Wembley and Northwood
have acted on this recommendation and appointed
Veterinary Officers.
