of Agriculture has Just issued the third of
series of reports on authorizations of food,
drinks and drugs This report treats of
authorizations of fermented alcoholic bever-
ages, malt liquors, wine and CIDER The
chemist and analyst by whom the report
is made concludes that beer is gem
orally adulterated with acid poisonous
and injurious to health. OF thirty-three
samples of beer analysed, six American
beers contained salicylic acid, OF which
two were bottle beers, samples of Mnwau-
kee beer, two from St Louis, one from
Alexandria Va, and one from Philadelphia,
which latter was also soured In Philadel-
phia beer only were hop substitutes
found OF beers brewed in Washington
one contained sulphite and one car
Donate of soda; the latter article was also
found in Alexandria beer One foreign
beer contained salicyic acid The use of
glucose and sugar in malt authorizations is
condemned as injurious to health- The
preserving agents used by brewers are still
more severely condemned AS means OF put
ting bad beer on the market. Wines and
cider are also reported TO be extensively
