Professor Andrews, of State
University, Alleges Use of
Formaline In the Milk
LIVES THREATENED
Letter to Iowa City Milk Dealers, Set
ting Forth Evils Caused by Use of
This "Doctored" Milk, Causes Great
Excitement, Being the First Attack
Of That Kind There. In Years
to Times. Republican,

| Special to Times Republican,
Iowa City. Feb 13.-Dr Launce,ot w
Andrews. professor of chemistry. at THE
state university OF Iowa, has attacked
the millmen of Iowa City whom. he al
leges, in an open letter published last
night, are using forrnaline in the milk
(which they retail to their patrons. to
keep 1t from turning sour. In his letter
he writes as follows:
THE health and even the Hives OF
children in this community. are threat
ened, by the practice in vogue with cer-
tain nliikmen of this city. of adding
formaline. more popularity known as
ernbalming fluid, to the milk and cream
which they sell here.
children fed on milk so doctored, are
unable to digest 1t property or anything
else eaten with II and serious distur-
Dances of the entire digestive tract re-
suit. But these evils, while most mark
ed with the little ones. are not confin-
ed Ito them by any means, often show
ing themselves plainly enough in adults
also.
This formasine. or embalming fluid
is used to prevent souring. The prac-
,ice Is more especially to be condemned
because it hides the results of careless
ness as regards cleanly conditions in
the dairy
While it is imperative that an appeal
should be made to the law. it is, I be-
Meve, not superfluous to appeal to the
milk dealers themselves. Many of
them are using it ignorantly. They re-
ceive circulars advertising harmless
milk preservative.' and put 1t into their
cans without any idea that they are
using embalming fluid. Others. how
ever. buy it directly at the drug stores
and are well aware of what they are
doing. To them no mercy should be
shown"
The appearance of this letter has
caused the greatest excitement here be-
cause of the prominence OF the man
writing It. There has not been an at
tack upon the quality of the milk de-
livered here in several years. DR.. An
drews prominence in Iowa and the west
as an expert chemist make 1t certain
that he knows whereof ne speaks.
