PANG beg leave to lay before the public the follow

partial perrsal. Prot. AIKEN. one of the most emf
the solicitation of several citizens has made y
thorough analysis of the MILK, which the Company
prepares and now furnishes to thousands in our city
and his professional opinions and conclusions have
been kindly furnished us for publication. The sub
joined is the document:
UNIVERSITY or MARYLAND, JANUARY ODD 1860 -
10 THE CITIZENS OF BALTIMORE: In accordance
with the request Of several families who are now
using Condensed Milk, and others who desire to
he ,BALTfM0RE CONDENSED MILK 20 CON- =
PANl, near York, Pa, and now give the results of
my observations there confined by subsequent ex
Milk received at the Factory door was carefiIIv nr
ahmed, all not absolutely fresh rejected and the
sweet pure MIL was put in clean brass kettles stand
ing IN vat of hot water. There it remained a brief
time, sunlGeht 10 accomplish the coagulation of the
caselp, IL was then passed through a metal filter
into large copper kettle, when it again 1noder-
ately heated by steam and then transferred by ex-
mauston to the vacuum pan for final concentration
rms concentration was carried on in partial vacuum
at temperature not exceeding 1902 Far. thermomo-
ter From the vacuum pan twas discharged intocan
which were rapidly cooled by immersing them in n
vat OF ice water and the Milk was then ready for
hours while stood watching each successive STEM
some 800 gallons of sweet, pure country Milk fresh
from the cows, without dilutiOn or aduleraton was
reduced to about 2 gallons 0fthe condensed article
The Condensed Milk thus produced containing of
necessity everything originally present except the
q
inside Of the brass kettles after the preliminary heat
ing and the Seventy-fye per cent. of water expelled
in the vacuum pan. This almost se!f-evident truth
was confirmed by subsequent chemical examination
One of the articles removed, the casein is the one
constituent Of NJ k most prone to change most readily
decomposed ana When undergoing change it always
acts like terment, 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-
come sour, and ut the same time must prevent that
Objectionable constpating action that so often fni

tlce 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
lutey clean. No 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 pam shone like mirror, while
boiling water and high steam laYishly 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 it
is never touched by the human hand. 1t is not
p fb!y clean but sgs IT Is also undI!nted and in
sources have never met with any containing ess
than one-iOurth and sometimes found one-third
water. This affects the question of cost. Twelve
cents for quart of Milk containing half pint of
quart of Condensed Milk at IS 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 quart OF Condensed Milk the cost becomes u
cents quart, and the product tastes like cream.
Even 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 lk from stall fed and diseased 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. perchanee, we have just been
helped. And lastly, it is worth something to have
responsible parties standing between and the farm
yard pump to 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, as that is manufactured in pre-
cSey the same way, and differs only in containing
q large percentage Of granulated white sugar.

We need only add, in full corroboraton of the
above, that all physicians who have given the Con-
densed MIX fair trial and examination, fully con-
cur 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
