Lemona5e Tablets,
These tablets wore not lemonade tablets. They
contained no free citric acid and did not
readily dissolve in water, the liquid finally
obtained by mixing one tablet with a tumblerful
of water was odourless and almost tasteless.
This matter was referred to the Ministry of F°° 1
as it seemed probable that they could take
proceedings against tho manufacturers for
offences of a graver nature than the infringe^611
Of the Food & Drugs Act. It was considered
inadvisable to prejudice action by the Ministry*
therefore no proceedings were instituted.
