“There’s chalk in the milk,” is all nonsense. Chalk will not remain in solution, but will settle. Hence milk is not adulterated with chalk. Milk is reduced by water, and if the body is again made up which the water has reduced, it is done by adding corn starch, or calves’ brains!

SWILL MILK (MAGNIFIED).
The reader will perceive by these quotations (from Dr. Samuel R. Percy’s report to the Academy of Medicine, New York), that it requires twice as much swill milk to give the same amount of nourishment as of a pure article. Furthermore, the swill milk is diseased, and, when magnified, appears as represented in the illustration. It contains corrupt matter, and pieces of diseased udder, with broken-down rotten globules.
