During the year quite a number of specimens of food were
brought to the office by householders with some complaint or
other in regard to them. It was often, however, quite impossible
to deal with them owing to the period which had elapsed
between the time of purchase and my seeing the offending commodity.
Meat was the most frequent subject, but quality and
not condition was more often than not the reasons of complaint.
