UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, JANUARY 22d, 1866
I2 TIE CITIZENS OF BALTIMoRE: In, accordance
with the request Of several families who are now
using Condensed Milk, and others who desire to
ADOPT it i t9Hn5 pure haze visited the Works Of
PAN Y, near loTh Pa. and now give the results Of
my observations there, confined By subsequent ex-
aa,m!jinationS Of the Milk in my Laboratory. The
Milk received at the Factory door was carefully ex
amined all not absolutely fresh rejected and the
sweet pure Milk was put in clean brass kettles stand
time, sufficient to accomplish the coagulation of the
caSeln. 1t was then passed through metal filter
into large copper KETTLE when it again moder-
ately heated by steam, and then transferred by ex
haustlon 10 the vacuum pan for final concentration
Ihs concentration wascarricd on in partial vacuum
at temperature not exceeding 1862 Far. thermOme-
ter From the vacuum pan il was discharged intocan
which were rapidly cooled by immersing them in a
nj? hf tb ie enE was cnen ready Tor
hours. while stood watching each successive step
some 800 gallons of sweet pure country Milk, fresh
reduced TO about 70 gallons ofthe condensed article
The Condensed Milk thus produced coatainine of
necessity everything originally present. except the
very small per cenage of casein left adherng the
inside Of the brass kettles after the preliminary heat
ing and the seYeny-hye per cent. of water expelled
in the vacuum pan. This almost Se!f-eyident truth
was confirmed by subsequent chemical examination
One of the articles removed the caSen, is the one
constituent of Milk most prone to change most readi
decomposed, and when undergoing change it always
acts like terment and brings about that chemical
change IN the sugar by which Tactic acid is produced
rfTp1 IL.
densed Milk must then diminish its tendency to be-
come sour, and at the same time must prevent that
ohJectionape constituting action that so often fol-
lows the habltqal use Of coagulated casein 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 it is absolutely pure in being abso-
lutey clean. y o one 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 utensi from the smallest
cup to the vacuum pan, sbone like mirror while
bolllng water and high steam was layishly used to
remove from the premises every thing that ght act
as the slightest cause of Contamination. From the
moment the Milk Is received at the door of the fac
tory until 1t Is passed out again to the consumer, it
Is never touched by the human hand. 1t is not
enly clean, but it is also undiuted. and in
this respect differs widely from our City Milk supply
During numerous examinations Of Mkfrom various
sources have never met with any containing less
than one-fourth and sometime; found One4third
water. This affects the question of cost. Twelve
cents for quart Of Milk containing half pint of
water makes the MiIk cost l6 cents quart, But one
of cold water, will give five quarts of Milk better
than any ordinary Milk that can find and will cost
less than III 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
swill NJ k from stall fed and diseased cows It would
pc worth something to get rid of the annoyance Of
discovering deposit Of mud in the bottom of the
lk vessel from which, perchance, we have just been
helped. And lastly, ii is worth something to have
responsible parties standing between us and the farm
yard pumpto guarantee that shall never be called
on to buy pump water at the rate of good Milk I
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-
clseiy the way, and differs only in containing
a large percentage OF granulated white sugar. -
Respectfully, &C.,

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
cur in the opinion of Prof. Akin.

orders at the depot send their address through the
Post office boxes established at the street corners
