Some who favor say that tho stock law many eases of typhoid fover is owing to impure milk caused by cows running at large 1 drinking from brunches or drains j from towns and cities. This is all a notion. In Gainesville and ! Hull county and many other places j where cows arc not allowed to run at large, they have typhoid fever.
