Inflammation caused by the invasion of the udder with specific bacteria is usually of greater severity, the entire gland often becoming involved. The secretion of milk may cease and the function of the diseased quarters may never be restored. The milk in the less severe cases may not be abnormal in appearance, but with increasing severity, the nature of the milk changes, until it may be a watery liquid. The milk of any animal suffering from any form of garget should be rejected, as it may cause trouble, especially in children. There is some reason to believe that organisms coming from cases of garget have been responsible for the extensive outbreaks of septic sore throat that have occurred in some parts of the country. The milk of animals suffering from indigestion, diarrhea, abscesses on any part of the body, as from those which have retained the afterbirth should be likewise rejected. In short only the milk of healthy animals should be used for human food; that from any animal suffering from any disease or which is receiving medical treatment should not be so used. =Typhoid fever=. The most important disease germ, distributed through the medium of milk, that is unable to produce a diseased condition in the cow is the organism of typhoid fever. This malady is an intestinal affliction of man, and the germ causing the same is found abundantly in the dejecta, both solid and liquid, as well as in the blood in certain stages of the disease. While the causal organism does not leave the body through the expired air, it is found abundantly in both the urine and feces. Therefore, the dejecta, and any articles that may be soiled with the same become a positive menace. Many different methods of transmitting the contagion exist, such as water, food infected in various ways, contact with infected persons, and through the medium of milk. Milk is not so frequently the cause of dissemination as the other factors, but where milk supplies become contaminated, epidemics of considerable magnitude are wont to occur. The danger from milk is also aggravated by the fact that the typhoid bacillus is capable of withstanding considerable amounts of acid, and consequently finds, even in raw milk containing the normal lactic acid bacteria, conditions favorable for its growth. In a considerable percentage of cases, the disease is not sufficiently severe to cause the patient to take to his bed. These so-called "walking typhoid" cases are particularly dangerous, because they serve to spread the disease organism more widely.
