Gentlemen,
During the past quarter I have examined 56 samples of
Milk. In 5 cases I certified to adulteration. The result of the
prosecution in each of these cases is duly stated in the Schedule

One sample of Hour was submitted to me by the Guardians under
the Sale of Food and Drugs Act. I certified it to be genuine.
Your faithful Servant,
