Written at the turn of the 20th century by a physician involved in improving the milk supply of New York City, this book sets forth the parameters around the problem of bacteria in milk at the time. The author, who was supported by the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research and worked under Dr Park, explains how the presence of dirt, hair, and other visible contaminants in milk is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to ensuring that milk is fit for human consumption. Focusing on the latest scientific discoveries of the day, the author explains how bacteria multiply rapidly in milk and can cause serious illness and even death, particularly in infants. The author explains that bacteria come not only from unsanitary conditions, such as dirty cows and equipment, but also from infected individuals handling the milk. The book provides a detailed, step-by-step guide to ensuring that milk is free from serious bacterial contamination at every stage of production, from the farm to the home, from the cleanliness of the cows and their environment to the sterilization of equipment and the proper storage and transportation of milk. The author's methods, which involve a combination of aseptic and antiseptic practices, were adopted by leading dairies at the time under the supervision of the author and received certification from the Milk Commission of the County Medical Society and became known as Certied Milk. The author's work had a major impact on the dairy industry at the time and helped to improve the quality and safety of the milk supply in cities across the United States. As a result, his methods and approach continue to influence milk production practices today.
