PANY beg leave to lay before the public the follow

nent Chemists and Pharmaceutists of the country at
the solicitation of several citizens, has made
thorough analysis of the MILK, which the Company
prepares and furnishes to thousands in our city,
and his professional opinions and conclusions have
been kindly furnished us for publication. The SUBJ

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, JANUARY 22d, 1866
To THE CITIZENS OF BALTIMORE: In accordance
with the request Of several families who are now
adopt it. if found pune, have visited the Works of
the BALTIMORE CONDENSED MILK COM.

aminations of the Milk in my Laboratory. The
Milk received at the Factory door was carefully ex-
amined all not absolutely fresh was rejected and the
sweet pure Milk put in clean brass kettles. stand
ing in vat of hot water There it remained brief
time. sufficient to accomplish the coagulation of the
casein. 1t was then passed through metal filter
into large copper Kettle when it was again moder
ately heated by steam, and then transferred by
haustiOn to the vacuum pan for final concentration.
This concentration carried in partial vacuum
at temperature not exceeding 1902 Far. thermome-
ter From the vacuum pan twas discharged into cans
which were rapidly, cooled by immersing them in
vat Of ice water. and the Milk was then ready for
distribution. By this simple process. in few
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 25 gallons ofthe condensed article
The Condensed Milk thus produced containing of
necessity everything originally present except the
very small centage of casein left adhering to the
inside of the brass kettles after the preliminary heat
ing and the seventy-ye per cent. of water expelled
in the vacuum pan. This almost self-evident truth
was confirmed by subsequent chemical examination
One of the articles removed the casen, is the one
constituent of Milk most prone to change mostready
decomposed and when undergoing change it always
acts like ferment, and brings about that chemical
change in the by which Tactic acid is produced
This partial removal of the casein from the Con-
densed Milk must then diminish its tendency to be-
nt
objectionable constipating action that so often fol-
lows the habtqa use of coagulated casein as an ar
tce 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 1t is absolutely pure in being abso
iutely clean. Nc one can visit the factory without
being struck with the extreme care taken and the
efficiency of the means employed to insure the most
perfect cleanliness. Every utens from the smallest
cup to the vacuum pan, shone like mirror, while
boiling water and high steam lavishly used to
remove from the premises every thing that might act
moment the Milk received at the door of the fac
tory until it is passed out again to the consumer it
only clean, but it is also undiluted and in
this respect differs widely from our City Milk supply
sources have never met with any containing less
than one-tourth and sometimes found one-third
water. This affects the question of cost. Twelve
cents for quart of Milk containing half pint of
water makes the Milk cost Is cents quart. But one
quart of Condensed Milk at IS cents with four quarts
Of cold water, will give five quarts of Milk better
less than 10 cents quart with three quarts of water
to quart OF Condensed Milk the cost becomes L
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
swill Mi from stall fed and diseased cows Itwould
be worth something to get rid of the annoyance of
discovering deposit of mud in the bottom of the
Milk vessel from which, perchance have just been
helped. And lastly, it is worth something to have
responsible parties standing between and the farm
yard pumpto guarantee that we shall never be called
on to buy pump water at the rate of good Milk.
need hardly add that all that have said in relation
to the Condensed Milk applies with equal force to
the preserved Milk, as that is manufactured in pre-
csey the same way, and differs only in containing a
large percentage of granulated white sugar.

We need only add, in full confederation of the
above, that all physicians who have given the Con-
densed MIX fair trial and examination, fully CON
eur in the opinion of Prof. Akin.
Persons DESTROYS of trying this Milk can leave their
orders at the depot send their address through the
Post Office boxes established at the street corners
