In the case of sample E 31, the vendor did not apply within 60 hours for a
sample to be taken on delivery, but after the summons was served, he stated

In the case of sample A 28, the inspector was informed that the vendor
was adding 8 pints of water to every 17 gallons. This would represent 5.0 per
cent. of added water, and the percentage found amounted to 6.2 per cent.
Sample F 83 was labelled "Sterilized Milk, Kosher." Out of a total of 14
