"The owner then stated that three years before his family cow had died of some unknown disease. A heifer calf, from this cow, was kept for a family milk cow, was kept for a family milk cow, and at the time of the investigation was 3 years old and giving milk, which the family was using.
"The inspector noticed that the little girl in the family was sitting in a wheelchair on account of having one limb amputated. The father wondered at this time if her trouble could have been tuberculosis of the bone. The family cow, together with all of the other cattle on the place, was tested and reacted to the test, and were slaughtered and showed extensive lesions of tuberculosis.
"Milk Gland Diseased"
Doctor Adams cites a case in the Boise valley where a milk cow in a herd was tested and reacted to the test. She was slaughtered, and a post-mortem examination showed many lesions of the disease. One extensive lesion, he says, was in the super-maxillary lymph gland, one of the principal organs involved in milk production.
Another case was in Paris, HI. A cow had been pronounced tubercular by an inspector and tagged for slaughter. The owner took the tag off and sold the animal to his hired man for a family milk cow. Within the next six months one of the hired men's children, a girl 5 years of age, developed tuberculosis. Since then four others have developed characteristic symptoms. There are seven children in the family, and all but two have contracted the disease. One girl, 11 does not drink milk, and seems perfectly healthy. This is also  The true of a six months-old baby, which has received no cow's milk.
