The TELEGRAPH-CoURIER has re-
ceived the following from the Hon. H. C.
Thorn, the Dairy and Food Commissioner
of Wisconsin, in regard to the adulteration
of food and drugs in this state, which we
take pleasure in publishing for theinforma-
ton Of the public in general and as warn
ing to those people who, for the purpose of
making money by a fraudulent sale, impose
upon reputable dealers" who have relied
on their honesty and good faith
10 THE EDITORIALS a most suggestive
indication of the widespread adulteration of
food and drugs which has been going on, [
desire to state that the Wisconsin Dairy
and Food Commissioner recently took thirty
samples of Cream of Tartar from reputable
dealers in this state, and in all but six not
trace Of cream of tartar was found by
chemical analysis. The twenty-fou adul-
terated samples were composed of tartaric
acid, alum, starch, lime, plaster paris, sand
and various other adulterants. The people
hardly realize the extent of the fraud that
is imposed on them.
