Partners! [editorial cartoon by William Kemp Starrett]
Editorial cartoon by William Kemp Starrett published in <em>The</em> <em>Knickerbocker Press. <br /><br /></em>Image Description: An anthropomorphized can of Impure Milk shakes hand with a grinning undertaker and says, "Hello, Old Man! How's business?" Beneath the cartoon is the caption, "Partners!" <br /><br />In New York during the 1850s the Swill Milk scandal was a major adulterated food catastophe. An estimated 8,000 infants were killed in a single year. In 1858, <em>Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper</em> exposed the sale of adulterated milk to unsuspecting consumers. These revelations would lead to the creation of city park dairies and milk stations. Eventually, the problem of contaminated milk throughout the nation would be recognized and food safety regulations enacted.
