Diseased Meat.

Dr. Carpenter says that animals fall an easy prey to every kind of epidemic, for all sanitary laws are, as a rule, ignored by farmers. He was not sur prised when an inspector from the Metropolitan Meat Market declared upon oath in the Croydon Police Court that 80 per cent, of the meat which was sent to the London market was the subject of tubercular disease; and that to exclude diseased meat from the market would be to leave the metropolis without an adequate meat supply.— English paper.
