Midsummer, 1883.
During the past quarter I have analysed 12 Milks. One of them
was adulterated with 15 per cent. of water, two of them with
respectively five per cent. each, accepting the lowest possible
standard. The great majority were very good.
Of five Butters, four were genuine, according to our standard.
One contained no butter at all, but was altogether an imitation.
A sample of Lard was very good, and, in every sense of the word,
of the nature, substance, and quality demanded.
Three Breads have also been examined; they were not adulterated,
but they ought to be very cheap. They were very dark in
color, especially the one labelled 44. A sample of Coffee was
distinctly good.
Three Spirits conclude my list. All three were more than up to
the mark as regards the alcoholic standard. None contained any
metallic contamination; No. 50, Rum, was otherwise, of inferior
quality.
The certificates are in the hands of your Inspector.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Yours faithfully,
ALBERT J. BERNAYS.
