Book excerpt: Excerpt from Milk During a connection of thirteen years with the Department of Hygiene and Bacteriology of the University of Chicago, the author evolved a course entitled "The Sanitary Aspect of Milk Supplies." This course included laboratory work in which the student was made familiar with the most important methods for carrying out sanitary milk examinations. Parallel with this work a series of lectures was given covering the physical and chemical properties of milk; the biology of milk, including bacteriology; and methods of producing, handling, and distributing milk. The material for these lectures was gathered from books and a large number of original articles. Thus the foundation for the present book was laid. The author does not claim that the subject has been exhaustively treated. It is quite probable that some of the many monographs have been overlooked, and suggestions from authors of the same will be received with gratitude. A book on milk which would cover the subject to the minutest detail would be in the nature of an encyclopedia and would suffer in interest for the reader. However, those interested in the milk problem, whether physicians, sanitarians, students, or producers, will find that nearly all the questions occurring to them have been touched upon, and for the benefit of those who wish to follow up any particular avenue in this vast subject a bibliography has been appended to each chapter. This bibliography is sufficiently complete to serve as a starting-point for further study. I have been aided in the preparation of this book by several of my friends whose kindness it is a pleasant duty to acknowledge. I am chiefly under obligations to Doctor Isaac A. Abt and Doctor A. Levinson, who are authors of the chapter on "Milk and its Relation to Infant Feeding." Doctor Henry L. Coit had kindly consented to critically read the chapter on "Certified Milk," but his lamented demise rendered the fulfilment of this promise impossible. Professor A. J. Carlson made some pertinent criticisms on the "Physiology of Lactation." My thanks are due to Professors Edwin O. Jordan and Norman MacLeod Harris for valuable suggestions, and to Doctor Mary Hefferan for critically reading the first manuscript.
