PANl beg leave to lay before tie public the follow

partial pcrusal. Prof AIKEN. one of the most emf

thorough analysis of the MlLk, which the Company
prepares and now furnishes to thousands in city,
and his professional opinions and conclusions have
been kindly furnished us for publication. The sub
ioined is the document
UNIVERSITY or MARYLAND. January I'D. ls6i-
To THE CiTZESS OF BALTIMORE: la accordance
with the request Of several families who are now
using Condensed Milk and others who desire to
the BAiTIM0RE CF0NDEiNsED5' MILK Ill Co CON +
PAAN ncar York. Pt., and now give the results Of
aioaiidns 't Of the Mix in y Iabogat9Ty The
MIX received at the Factory door carefully cx
anincd all not absolutely fresh was rejected and the
sweet pure Milk was put IN clean brass kettles, and
ing In vat Of hot water. There it remained brief
time sufficient to accomplish tho coagulation Of the
cascln. 1t was then passed through Il metal filter
into large copper kettle, when it was again Inodcr-
aely heated by steam, and then transferred By cx-
haustion 10 the vacuum pan for final concentration.
This concentration carried on partial vacuum
1T a temperature not exceeding 1862 Far thGrmome-
ter From the vacuum pan was discharged into
vat OF lee water. and the Milk was then ready for
distribution. By this simple process. in few
hours, while | stood watching each successive step
some D" gallons OF sweet, pure country Blk fresh
from the cows, without diluon or aduteration, was
reduced to about rs gall Ions ofhe condensed article
The condensed Milk thus produced cO3taining of
necessity everything originally present except the
very small per centage of caseir left adherng to the
inside Of tho brass kettles after the preliminary heat
ing and the Seventyfve per cent. Of water expelled
in the vacuum pan This almost self-evident truth
was confirmed by subsequent chemical examination
1ne ct the articles removed the casen, is the one
constituent Of Milk most prone change most readily
decomposcd and when undergoing change it always
acts like tcrment, and brings about that chemical
change in tho sugar 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 at the same time must prevent that
Objectionable cOnstlpaing action that so often fol-
lows the habltpal use Of coagulated casein IS
ticc 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 Is absolutely pure in being abso-
iuteiy clean. n 0 visit the factory without
being struck with the extreme care taken and the
efficiency Of he means employed to insure the most
perfect cleanliness. Every utens from the smallest
cup the vacuum pan, shono like a mirror while
boiling water and high steam was layshly used to
remove from the premises every thing that might act
as the slightest cause of contamination. From the
moment the hlilE Is reserved 1T tho door Of the fac
tory until it IS passed out again TO the consumer il
IS never touched by the human hand; 1t is not
sniy clean, but 1t IS also undiuted, and in
this respect differs widely from our City Milk supply
During numerous examinations of Milk from yarions
sources have never met with any containing less
water. This affects the question of cost Twriye
cents tor quart Of Milk containing half pint of
water makes the Milk cost Is cents quart But one
1ar OF Condensed Milk at - cents, with four quarts
nt 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
cents quart, and the product tastes like cream
Even were the cost greater it would be worth some
thIng to be free from al risk of swallowing stale Milk
kept until on the very verge of decomposition, or
5wi Milk from stall fed and diseased cows 1t would
ne worth something to get rid Of the annoyance of
discovering deposit Of mud in the bottom Of the
Mix vessel from which perchance, have Just been
helped. And lastly it is worth something to have
responsible parties standing between Us and the farm
yard PumPto guarantee that we shall never be called
on TO buy pump water Al the rHte of good Milk |
need hardly add that all that have in relation
TO the Condensed Milk applies with equal force 10
the preserved Milk, as that is manufactured in pre-
eiseiy the same way and differs only in containing
snecttully, &c. WILLIAM 4. A. Akin, NJ. D., Prof.

We need only add in full corroboration of the
above, that ali PHYSICIANS who have given the Con-
de"sed ith fair trial and examination, fully con-
cur in the opinion of Prof. Akin
Persons deSir0us OF trying this Milk can leave their
orders at the depot send their address through the
Post office boxes established at the street corners
