DURING THE YEAR 1900,
MADE TO THE
Council of The City of Westminster,
BY
JAMES EDMUNDS, M.D., M.R.C.P.Lond., F.C.S., &c.,
Medical Officer of Health and Public Analyst to the City of
Westminster, for the District of St. James's.
Mr. Mayor, my Lords and Gentlemen,
During the year 1900, under the provisions of the Sale of
Food and Drugs Act, I have examined 93 samples, all which
were procured for examination by the Vestry Officers.
In none of these samples was any poisonous ingredient
discovered.
Among the samples submitted for examination there were:—
Vinegars 14
Milks 23
Butters 14
Coffees 13
Peppers 9
Cocoas 9
Mustards 11
93
Nothing, except the stipend paid by the Vestry, has been
received by me in connection with these analyses.
The results of the analyses are shown in the Table which is
appended (vide pages 56 to 60).
