RESULT OF DRINKING IMPURE BEER.
In regard to the actual results of contin-
aully drinking a beer containing the inn
purlties detected, the writer is aware that
many a stout aud healthy individual will
argue thus: II have been drinking beer all
my lie aud am sound man to-day, so it
can't be adulterated so awfulIy mucn. "
but this individual must remember these
three things: That there are exceptions to all
rules that the effect of adulterated beer may
yet tell on him off he drinks much OF the
adulterated brands, and lastly, that he is
probably not SO healthy a man as he thinks
he Is. Certain it is that every practicing
physician has constantly under his care
one or more victims of impure beer
Again, as each individual beer drinker
hears reference to adulterated beer, he
Will say: ''Ohl yes, there is lots of impure
beer on the market You ought to drink
only the so-and-so brand it is the only pure
article" We should answer, don't be to0
sure about that"
VERY FAIR SHOWING.
In reference to the above analysis il
should be stated that no one sample Of beer

purlties found, and of the fifteen samples nc
impurities at all were detected in ten sam
Piles. This is a showing of 33k per cent.
OF impure beer on the market. This per-
centage is, however, but little, if any worse,
thanis the case with the majority of manu-
featured articles of food and drink All
kinds of such products are more or less
adulterated
The present article must not be consid-
cred as polenic against the brewers in gen
eral, for, as have said, their products are
no worse than those of other manufactur-
ers, and it must be said for them that the
more responsible ones, some of whom have
been spoken to in regard to this matter, are
aware of the prevalent ad liberation of
beer, and deplorc it. They know that it is
done and thew know how TO do itsbut re-
frain from the nefarious practices them
selves, as matter of principle, though they
could immensely Increase their profits il
they should yield to greed The writer has
talked with some of the best brewers in the
country and they all agree that stop OF
some kind should he put to the

going on in many local and distant brew
cries; they say it is damaging the honest
brewer who brews with al eye only to the
legitimate profits Of his business. 1t is wei
-1a9 tnere are few of these honest fellows
for if all the bser sold was as bad as soma OF
Tue samples analysed the future OF our
people would be appalling to consider.
I his suggests the ly immediate remedy
the only thing the beer drinker can dc tc
lessen the risk of detriment to his health
from impure beer-that Is, "don't conf ie
your rotations to any one brand of beer,
but let them be of as many different brands
as possible AS about 80 d per cent. OF all
beer supplied to the Pittsburg consumer is
adulterated, by a conglomeratiol of beers
you will get two glasses of the pure article
Tor one of the impure. That is two to one
in your favor, aud is the best you can do
under the circumstances.
