Fraudulent Practices.

The Chinese are SAID to he the
most initiative race Of people In cx-
istence. Americans do not fall far
behind them. There are many lid
nid compounds having 4 peculiar
and original color, odor or favor by
which they are recognized, and
chemistry has advanced % far that
it is easy. by the help Of worthless
ingredients, to prepare something
having the semblanrc Of the original
but without the characteristics which
render it sought after. Wines and
liquors Of inferior quality are often
by chemical process given al APP
pearance OF age and strength which
they do not possess. st. Jaeob'stOil
has always been recognized by pc
culial color and odor, and knowing
this, many attempts have been made
to initiate it by preparations having
no curative power. The warnings
which have been uttered Oh this sub
iect should be carefully needed.
