        "These statements are diabolical
                facts and disgraceful realities".

Mullaly, John. THE MILK TRADE IN NEW YORK AND VICINITY...

New York; Fowlers and Wells: 1853.

"Giving an account of the sale of pure and adulterated milk- the daily and 
yearly consumption - the amount of property invested in the business - the 
milk-dealers and dairymen of Orange and other counties - injurious effects 
of impure milk on children - advice to country dairymen...

"It is a matter of common conversation among our citizens; it is a source 
of continual apprehension on the part of mothers and nurses; it is 
frequently asserted in the newspapers; and it is the unanimous declaration 
of medical men, that thousands of children annually sicken and die in this 
city, from the effects of bad milk. And the same sad story is told, and the 
same medical testimony is repeated year after year, and yet the evil goes 
on unchecked - because by this traffic men can 'put money in their purses'.

"Were placards to be posted around the streets of this city and its 
suburbs, announcing in glaring capitals that the inhabitants of New York, 
Brooklyn, Williamsburgh, and Jersey City, pay annually the sum of three 
millions of dollars for adulterated and distillery or slop milk; and nearly 
half a million dollars for the water with which both pure and impure milk 
is diluted; and that nearly two thirds of all the milk consumed in the 
above-named places is a spuriously manufactured article, would not people, 
think you, reader, gaze at the appalling proclamation in utter incredulity 
or inexpressible astonishment?

"Would they not wonder at the indifference of the swindled sufferers; be 
amazed at that silence of our municipal authorities which is equivalent to 
consent, and exclaim, more indignantly than usual on occasions of outrage, 
'Where are the Police?' But, fellow-citizens, these statements are 
diabolical facts and disgraceful realities".
