ADMINISTRATION OF THE FOOD AND DRUGS ACTS.
The report of the Food and Drugs Inspector for the year 1922
is appended.
The continuation of the practice of having one inspector entirely
engaged on this important work has undoubtedly been productive
of very satisfactory results.
It will be seen from the report of the inspector that the number
of samples returned " not genuine " was a very small percentage of
those taken.
