me under the Sale of Food and Drugs Act during the year 1933. The
total number of samples examined has been rather lower than in the
previous years. It amounts to 496 in all. The following list shows
the principal articles examined, in addition to which there have been
a large variety of other articles of food or drink or medicine:—
Milk 114
Condensed Milk 2
Butter 55
Cream 13
Margarine 54
Cheese 23
Lard 35
Dripping 10
Sausages 18
Fish and Meat Products 21
Bread and Butter 16
Jam 7
Coffee 13
Cocoa 15
Spirits 7
Lemonade Powders 5
Cereals 11
Preserved Fruits 7
Peas 4
Vinegar 5
Pepper 7
Medicines 11
