Animalcules in Buttermilk.\emdash Dr. J. P. Brown, of Galt, Ontario, in the Canada Lancet for August, gives an account of a family poisoned by drinking buttermilk, which on examination with the microscope, was proved to contain immense numbers of animalcules. He thinks the germs which produced them were taken in by the cow in the water which she drank, and found their way into her blood through the lacteals. The symptoms were those of narcotico-irritant poisoning, viz.: vomiting, purging, cramps, stupor, etc. "We think it much more probable that the organisms were produced in the milk after it was taken from the cow.
