But all these butters have been made up by a
manufacturer, as they exhibit considerable scientific
skill.
A sample of Cream Cheese, was certainly of
the nature demanded. So far, we have had no
illustration of the adulterations of cheese said to be
of American manufacture.
A specimen of Mixed Pickles was every thing
that could be desired in such an article.
One sample of Brandy was sold as Whiskey;
it was alcoholically very strong, nearly 5 per cent.
above the standard. Such a spirit is very injurious
unless much diluted with water.
Of three Beers, little can be said. No 125
was alcoholically very strong, containing 12½ per
cent, of proof spirit; its alcoholic strength covered
its acidity. Beers are very much altering in character,
and decidedly require further examination.
It would greatly assist our investigations if we could
be supplied with the names of the brewers who are
supposed to furnish the liquors on draught.
