MILK IN DISEASES. 671
may also pass into the milk, but probably not in such quantities as to
have any direct action on the nursing child. 1
Alcohol is claimed to have
been detected in the milk after feeding cows with brewer’s grains.
Among inorganic bodies, iodine, arsenic, bismuth, antimony, zinc,
lead, mercury, and iron have been found in milk. In icterus neither
bile-acids nor bile-pigments pass into the milk.
Under diseased conditions no constant change has been found in woman’s
milk. In isolated cases Schlossberger, Joly and Filhol - have indeed observed
a markedly abnormal composition, but no positive conclusion can be derived
therefrom.
The changes in cow’s milk in disease have been little studied. In tuber-
culosis of the udder, Storch 3
found tubercle bacilli in the milk, and he also noted
that the milk became more and more diluted, during the disease, with a serous
liquid similar to blood-serum, so that that the glands finally, instead of yielding
milk, gave only blood-serum or a serous fluid. Husson 4
found that milk from
murrain cows contained more proteins but considerably less fat and (in severe
cases) less sugar than normal milk.
The milk may be blue or red in color, due to the development of micro-organisms.
The formation of concrements in the exit-passages of the cow’s udder is often
observed. These consist chiefly of calcium carbonate, or of carbonate and phos-
phate with only a small amount of organic substances.
