Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Thirty-Ninth Annual Report of the Local Government Board, 1909-10: Supplement in Continuation of the Report of the Medical Officer of the Board, for 1909-10, Containing a Report on Shellfish Other Than Oysters in Relation to Disease
The report by Dr. Bulstrode, which I have the honour to submit, is in continuation of and supplementary to his report on Oyster Culture in Relation to Disease, which was submitted to the Board in the year 1894 by the late Sir Richard Thorne Thorne, then Medical Officer of the Board. This earlier report showed that these molluscs were not infrequently collected, fattened or stored under extremely unwholesome and dangerous conditions; and although since the issue of that report material improvement has been brought about in many instances, there still remains, as Dr. Bulstrode Observes, much to be done before the public can consume oysters, bought promiscuously, with a reason able degree oi safety.
