At the weekly meeting of the Maryleboe e council,
held at the Courthouse on Saturday, Mr. Churchwarden
CARR in the chair, a moat important was promoted
from Or. Dundee Thomson, the dhow of health
who had been recently appointed by the board as gas ex-
aminer sod food analyst to the parish of Narylebooe. It
was his first report upon the latter subject. The doctor
stated that out of eleven samples of milk that were sub-
mitted to him for =dyad= seven were adulterated, and
only four were genuine. Several of these were composed of
equal parts of water and milk, while other contained a=
third water, down to a fourth and Ism All of these &dul-
-1 imstiese he denounced as gross frauds, and as by no

boo forwarded to
i him, two of which were mixed with
re alum. This admixture contrary to a specific clause
of another act of parlianient, and he considered it calcu-
lated to be highly injurious to health. With rePrd to

in the unprotected purchaser. Sugar, Sour, beer, spirits,

the marking dames in the state in which they are deed. After explaining the powers given under the bill,
Dr. Thomson Mates that be should recommend that usually,
when adulterations are detected, the trader should be in-
formed of the fact that such article sold by him wee adult*.

to offer such an article in future to his sestomen, as be
must then come under the designation, as described by the
act, of one " who knowingly sells adulterated articles. It
appeared to hint that, by this mode of procedure, the set
mould be efficiently worked without undue hardiness, and
with regard to the health of the community. He farther
recommended that intimatiou be given to the inhabitants by
petaled notices ot the adoption of the act, pointing out the
provisisas. It was resolved that the report be received and
entered atom the minutes.
