Excerpt from Meat and Food Inspection: With Governing Meat Inspection in the United States

The subject of Meat and Food Inspection is so important and inter esting that the small amount of attention paid to it by the student of public health is cause for surprise.

Every student of medicine possesses the requisite knowledge of pathology which will enable him to pronounce Opinions upon the varied post-mortem conditions encountered among animals intended for human food. The layman of intelligence who gives the subject close study can also be trusted to form a judgment as to the fitness or otherwise of meat for human consumption. It is not suggested that the position of the veterinary surgeon should be usurped. His pre-eminence is recognized by statute, since the Public Health Acts demand the production of a separate report from a duly qualified veterinarian when living animals are to be examined.

Since few sanitary authorities can afford to retain the services of a veterinary inspector whose time would be devoted to the systematic examination of living and dead animals, it is the duty of every public health official to perfect his knowledge, so that he may fill an existing gap in the administrative machinery of present-day sanitation.
