The American Journal of Health" con-
siders that the time has come for some
hygienic publication of acknowledged
standing to speak authoritatively upon the
question of beer drinking Heretofore the
subject has been left to general writer's
for the press and to sensationalists whose
wild statements have done much to mis-
lead the public regarding matter of great
interest. AS a result large body of
otherwise intelligent people are debarred
from the advantages which pure beer af-
fords, or If they do indulge in this bever-
age are being continually made uneasy
by the awful fear that great harm will fol-
low their indulgence in its use. All this
has been caused by those who have writ
ten about something they have never
scientifically investigated and concerning
which they have not the slightest means
OF knowing more about than does the ay-
erage reader of such newspaper articles
the fact is that pure beer is one Of the
most wholesome beverages that enc can

All this is true of pure beer, for the in

TO invite the gravest risks Contrary to a
common belief, good beer is easily obtain
able. but unless intelligently advised the
ordinary purchaser has no means of dis
eliminating between pure and impure
beer. The searching tests of a chemical
laboratory furnish the only means of de-
tectins the numerous authorizations found
in this beverage. During some recent in
vestigations we came upon a brand Of beer
which showed such absolute purity and so
large percentage of nutritious elements
that we consider many of our readers will
be benefited by having their attention
called to this exceptionally pure and whole
some product Reference is had TO the
beer produced by the Chr Heurich Brew
ing Company, of Washington. d. c., which
We find to be utterly free from the slight
est trace OF adulteration and so rich in
food elements as to deserve special praise
at the hands of the hygienist. This beer
is made from malt and hops, as shown by
analysis. and the processes employed in
the brewing are in conformity with mod
:
production is marked by attention 10 san
itary precautions, which result in a prod
uct entirely worthy of the physicians en-
dorsement and the hygienist's unstinted
praise. If all beer were brewed under
| similar conditions and as perfectly free
| from the numerous substitutes for malt
and hops and dangerous additions. no
tenable argument against beer drinking
could possibly be urged Unfortunately,
| however, all products of the kind do not
| present the same essential features of su-
/ percrity as we find in the beer manufac-
| tured by the Chr. Heurich Brewing Com
pany.
The position of this journal upon the
subject of beer drinking is so plainly in
| dicated that "he who runs may read. :"
While opposed uncompromisingly TO i'm
pure beers, and ever ready TO expose adul-
! terations wherever we find them, We can
not consistently ignore the benefits which
are derived from pure beer. II would be
fully as unreasonable to condemn good
| food because impure food is sometimes Of
fered for sale. Having ascertained by un-
| failing tests that the product of the Chr.
| Heurich Brewing Company is worthy of
praise we do not hesitate TO say so in the
interests of readers of this publication,
who may be benefited by a statement of
| the facts.
i The American Journal of Health" seldom
devotes as much space to any one subject
as we do in the present instance, but in
| this case we have found such marked
worth that we cannot but lay special en-
phasis upon the high quality. purity, and
! wholesomeness of the beer offered by the
! Chr Heurch Brewing Company, which is
unexcelled in all the features which eonsti-
| tute a perfect beer.
