produce it economically, and even if not able to export
butter to Denmark, would be capable of driving the Danish
butter out of the English market. To assist to this desired
consummation, the Margarine and Food and Drugs Acts must

I may point out that the number of samples taken
during the year is rather under the official number, which is
itself small for so large a community, but the amount of
work now thrown on the Medical Officer and his staff is
so great that the Inspectors have not sufficient time to
collect the full number of samples. I have referred to this
matter from time to time in my quarterly reports, adding
the suggestion that Special Inspectors should be told off to
carry out the Adulteration Acts. The work actually performed
by the Inspectors leaves nothing to be desired.
I am, Gentleman, your obedient Servant,
FRANK L. TEED, Public Analyst.
