ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ANALYST
APPOINTED UNDER THE SALE OF FOOD AND DRUGS ACT.
TO THE BOARD OF WORKS FOR THE ST. GILES'
DISTRICT.
Gentlemen,
During the year ending 25th March, 1890, I
received from your Inspectors, Messrs. J. Hoyle and J.
Smith, 213 samples for analysis, consisting of bread, brandy,
butter, cheese, coffee, flour, gin, iodide of potassium, marjoram,
milk, pepper, a prescription, preserved fruits and
vegetables, rum, sal volatile and whiskey. Of these twelve
were found to be adulterated, viz.:—two of gin, seven of
milk, two of rum and one of sal-volatile, 4 samples of milk
were poor and 4 of sal-volatile were deficient in strength.
I am,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
T. REDWOOD.
