- "Milking the Dry Cow" from Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, May 15, 1858 - Frank Leslie's scathing articles exposed New York City's "swill milk" scandal in 1858.

In turn, the milk--masked with other ingredients and marketed as "pure" to urban consumers--poisoned thousands of infants. New York State finally issued milk regulations in 1862.
