ADULTERATION OF ARROW-RoOT.—Tho Lanett
having some months since given the result of its examina-
tions into the adulteration practised on arrow-root, without
announcing the names of the persons from whom the
samples examined were purchased, has resumed the subject
for the purpose of ascertaining the result of its previous dis-
closures, and uuw gives the name of each individual Irom
whom the sample examined, whether genuine or not, was
obtained. Of 36 samples examined, no less than 18 were
adulterated, and 6of these consisted almost entirely of
potato starch, and the remaining 13 consisted of mixtures
in various proportions of potato starch. sago powder, tapioca,
and other starches, which in some cases funned the chief
part of the article. Au opinion is also expressed that not
only oatmeal, as formerly found to be the case, but that
articles of food supplied to workhouses and charitable in-
stitutions, as coffee, tea, cocoa, mustard, and pepper, aro
also adulterated to a fearful extent. The arrow-root sup
plied to the St. Idarylebune Workhouse was found to con-
sist chiefly of tapioca, starch, sago powder, and a small
portion of the genuine arrow-root. That supplied to thu
in-door poor of Kensington Workhouse was found to be
genuine, but that given to the out-door pour consisted
almost entirely of potato flour, as did also that in use in thu
Holborn Union.
