Another Word About Manufactured Honey.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
A letter appeared in recent issue of THE
DISPATCH in reference to some statements
made in the article by the writer on the subject
of sugar and honey. 1t had been my intention
not to answer this letter, but at the request Of
many friends the writer wishes to make the
following affrmations:
First, that he has found q comb honey (?) on
the market which contains no evidences of the
presence of any bee product whatever. There
is no hearsay evidence about 1.-THE specimen
was handled and microscopically examined by
the writer. Second, that each and every one of
the adulterations stated in these articles to
have been found, were detected by the writer
himself in samples obtained as stated. In all
cases where possible, samples OF the adulterated
adulteration found.
The one thing above an others that is
claimed for these articles is accuracy; and
evidence, it has been SO stated. The writer
does not care what the supplement of the en-
cyclopedia mentioned said or did not say. He
knows what he has seen, and he can prove it.
But he declines to enter into a controversy as
he does not wish to go into the detective busi-
ness or compete for prizes. However, If the
doctor who wrote the letter referred to, or the
gentleman who is offering prizes, or any one
else will come to the writer's office, he may see
sample of adulterated comb honey with IRE
sistable proof that 1t is such.
