Sale of Food and Drugs' Act.
One hundred and three samples of Food and Drugs were
examined at the Boards Laboratory. Of those 2 were Sweet Spirits of
Nitre one of which did not satisfy the requirements of the British
Pharmacopoeia. Eight were Mustards, of which 1 was adulterated
with flour and coloured with Turmeric. Four were Coffees, of which
one was admixed with Chicory. Sixteen were Milks, of which four
were mixed with water. Eight were Butters, of which 3 were largely
adulterated with foreign fat. And four were Cocoas, of which two
were adulterated with Sago Starch. The remaining Samples consisting
of Bread, Arrowroot, Gin, Quinine, Beer, Ale, Flour, Pepper,
Condensed Milk, Powdered Rhubarb, Whiskey, Flour and Vinegar
were genuine.
I have pleasure in acknowledging the great assistance I have
received from the Inspectors who have carried out my instructions
in an intelligent and satisfactory manner.
I have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your most obedient Servant,
G. A. ROGERS,
