UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, JANUARY 22d, 1866
70 THE CITIZENS OF BALTIMORE: In accordance
with the request Of several families who are now
using Condensed Milk, and others who desire to
ADOPT 6s Il i Hpf pure hys sisted the Works 0 Of
PAN near York; Pa, and now give the results of
my observations there, confined by subsequent ex-
aminations of the Milk in my Laboratory. The
Milk received at the Factory door carefully ox-
amined all not absolutely fresh rejected and the
ing in vat OF hot water. There it remained brief
time, sufficient to accomplish the cOagulation Of the
caseln. 1t was then passed through metal filter
into large copper kettle, when it was again moder-
ateiy heated By steam, and then transferred by ex
hauston to the vacuum pan for final concentration.
This concentration was carried on in partial vacuum
at temperature not exceeding 1862 Far. thermOme-
ter From the vacuum pan was discharged into cans
which were rapidly, cooled by immersing them in a
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 5OO gallons Of sweet pure country Milk, fresh
reduced to about l gallons ofthe condensed article
The Condensed Milk thus produced coataining of
necessity everything originally present except the
very small cenage of casein left adhering to the
inside Of the brass kettles after the preliminary eat
IN 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 Mill most prone to change
decomposed, and when undergoing change it always
acts Ike ferment, and brings about that chemical
change in the sugar by which Tactic acid is produced
removal tban n,,
densed Milk must then diminish its tendency TO be-
come sour, and at the same time must prevent that
lows the habitual use of coaguated casen as an ar
tcle 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 nm equally
important Senseit Is absolutely pure in being abso
llutely clean ~ one can visit the factory without
beng struck with the extreme care taken and tho
efficiency OF the means employed to insure the most
perfect cleanliness. Every utensl from the smallest
cup TO the vacuum ran, shone like n mirror, while
boiling water and high steam was avishly used 10
remove from the premises every thing that might act
moment the Milk is received at the door of the sc
tory until 1t is passed out again to the consumer it
s is neve cTod touched BY the human hand It NOT
this respect differs widely from our City Mix supply
During humorous examinations of Milkfrom various
sources have never met with any containing less
than one;-iourth and sometimes found one-third
water. This affects the question of cost Twelve
cents for quart Of Milk containing half apint of
water makes the MIL cost 10 cents quart But one
quart Of Condensed Milk at 48 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
10 one quart OF Condensed Milk the cost becomes Il
cents quart, and the product tastes like cream.
Even we're the cost greater it would be worth some
thing to be Tree from all risk of swallowing stale Milk
kept until on the very verge Of decomposition or
Swil Milk from stall fed and diseased cows ii would
be worth something to get rid of the annoyance of
discovering deposit of mud in the bottom of the
MIX vessel from which, perchance we have lust been
Helped. And lastly. 1t is worth something to have
RESPONSIBLE parties standing between US and the farm
yard punpto guarantee that shall never be called
on to buy pump water at the rate of good Milk I
need hardly add that al that have said in relation
to the Condensed Milk applies with equal force TO
the preserved Milk, as that is manufactured in pre-
esey the same way, and differs only in containing
a large percentage OF granulated white sugar.
Respectfully, &C.,

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-
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
