THE PUBLIC HEALTH (CONDENSED MILK) REGULATIONS. 1923. Thirty-three samples of different brands of condensed milk were taken and submitted to the Public Analyst, as follows:—
| Condensed Full Cream Milk Sweetened | 8 |
| Condensed Skimmed or Machine Skimmed Milk Sweetened | 22 |
| Condensed Skimmed Milk Unsweetened | 3 |
| Condensed Full Cream Milk Unsweetened | .... |

equivalent contents below that stated on each label. In three instances the labels were
not in conformity with the Regulations, the Minister of Health being informed of two of
these, and in the third case the importer immediately took steps to remedy the defect when
his attention was called to the matter.
