Abstract
In a preceding paper1, details were given of an investigation which demonstrated that an epidemic of milk-borne enteritis occurring in Aberdeen in 1919 was due to infection of milk with dysentery bacilli of the Flexner type. It was further stated that the epidemiological and clinical features of antecedent epidemics of milk-borne diarrhoea were such as to suggest that the former epidemics were probably also dysenteric infections, although bacteriological investigation had failed to identify the causative organisms.Keywords
