For the most part these adulterations are harmless substitutions or
the addition of preservatives to keep the goods sound, and cannot be said
to be seriously injurious to health, for modern legislation has had a
blighting effect on dangerous adulteration, but for all that if Public Analysts
who examine, and the Inspectors who take, the samples were to disappear
there is small doubt that it would soon become rampant again.
