UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, JANUARY 22d, 1866
10 THE CITIZENS OF BALTIMORE: In accordance
with the request Of several families who arc now
using Condensed Milk, and others who desire ia

PANY, near YORK. Pa, and now give the results OF
my. observations there, confined BY subsequent ex-
amlnations of the Milk in my Laboratory. The
Milk received at the Factory door carefully ex-
amined. all not absolutely fresh rejected and the
sweet pure Milk put in clean brass kettles stand
time. sufficient to accomplish the coagulation of the
easein, 1t was then passed through metal filter
into large copper KETTLE when it again moder-
atey heated by steam. and then transferred by ex-
haustion to the vacuum pan for final concentration
Ihls concentration was carried on in partial vacuum
at temperature not exceeding 1902 Far. thermOme-
ter From the vacuum pan it was discharged into cans
which were rapidly cooled by immersing them in a
yat 81 ice water and the Milk was then ready for
hours, while stood watching each successive step
some 500 gallons of sweet pure country Milk fresh
from the cows without dilutiOn adulteration was
reduced to about lbs gallons ofthe condensed article
The Condensed Milk thus produced containing of
necessity everything originally present except the
very small per centage of casen left adherng to the
inside of the brass kettles after the preliminary heat
ing and the seventy-hye per cent Of water expelled
III the vacuum pan. This almost self-eVident truth
was confirmed by subsequent chemical examination.
One OF the articles removed, the casein is the one
constituent OF M most prone to change most readily
decomposed, and when undergoing change it always
acts like ferment and brings about that chemical
change in the sugar by which Tactic acid is produced
This partial removal of the casein from the Com
densed Milk must then diminish its tendency to be-
come sour, and at the same time must prevent that
objectionable constituting action that often fol-
lows the habitqal use of coagulated casein
cle Of food whether taken in the form of cheese or
IN ordinary boiled Milk. The Condensed Milk is not
only chemically pure, but in another and an equally
important sense it is absolutely pure in being abso
iutely clean No one can visit the factory without
belng struck With the extreme taken and the
efficiency of the means employed to insure the most
cup to the vacuum pan, shone like a mirror, while
boiling water and high steam was layishy used to
remove from the premises every thing that might act
as the slightest cause of contamination. From the
moment the Milk is received at the door of the fac
tory until it is passed out again to the consumer ii

this respect differs widely from our City Milk supply
During numerous examinations of Milk from various

cents for quart Of Milk Containing half pint of
quart Of Condensed Milk at As cents with four quarts
Of cold water. will give five quarts of Milk better
than any ordinary Milk that can find and will cost
less than 10 cents quart with three quarts of water
to one quart OF Condensed Milk the cost becomes II
cents quart. and the product tastes like cream.
Even were the cost greater, it would be worth some
thing to be free from all risk of swallowing stale Milk
kept until on the very verge of decomposition, or
swi Mi Tx from stall fed and diseased cows. 1t would
be worth something to get rid Of the annoyance of
discovering deposit Of mud in the bottom of the
Milk vessel from which. perchance, we have Just been
helped. And lastly, it is worth something to have
responsible parties standing between and the farm
yard Pumpt guarantee that shall never be called
on to buy pump water at the rate of good Milk. l
need hardly add that all that have said in relation
to the Condensed Milk applies with equal force to
the preserved Milk that is manufactured in. pre-
cisely the same way and differs only in containing
q large percentage of granulated white sugar.

We need only add, in full corroboration OF the
above, that all physicians who have given the Con-
densed MilE fair trial and examination fully con-
