| Yesterday President Pinkham of tn
Board of Health opened a new ehapte
in the iquozone controversy in the fol
lowing letter, submitted TO the Boar

ed and ordered sent by that body:
Honolulu, Hawaii July IL, 1906
Messrs. Castle and Wilmington, Attor
neys for the Liquozone Company
Honolulu, T. II.
Gentlemen: / am directed by the
Board of Health to state that the Food
| Commissioner and Analyst OF the Board
| in pursuance of his duties on or about
the 5th day Of July, 1905, did verbally
| call the attention of certain vendors OF
a proprietary medicine called Liquo-
zone' to Sections l041-1042 and 1043
| Revised Laws Of Hawaii and the re-
suit of certain analysis of said . Liquo-
zone -
The vendors thus verbally addressed
voluntarily placed upon the containers
of said "Liquozone the only label III
their possession meeting the exigencies
of the case.
The attention of the Board of Health
was called to said 'ELiquozone at its
meeting held August 9th, 1905, but no
action was taken other than to place
the report of the Food Commissioner
and Analyst on the records of the
Board.
The attention of the Board of Health
at meeting held December 9th, 1905,
was called to a letter of Henry L.
Smith, Manager of the Liquozone Com
pany No formal notice was taken
thereof further than the generally ex-
pressed opinion, no action was neees-
sary and that no instructions in con-
travention to his action above referred
to should be issued to the Food Com
missioner and Analyst.
In your appearance before the Board
of Health on the 29th Of May, you, in
its opinion, presented Sections of the
law not applicable to the facts and cir
cumstances.
The evidence you submit, as to the
character Of the preparation, Liquo-
zone,' is Of the most exparte nature
being confined TO assurances, without
proof, of Messrs. III. NJ. Deavitt, Joseph
E. Schoen and Cunningham, all employ
ees or directly interested in the inan
cial success Of the Liquozone Company.
The assurances by affidavit of the
above mentioned Messrs. Deavitt,
Schoen and Cunningham would seem
to be discredited by a statement on page
, of a pamphlet accompanying each con
tainer of " Liquozone' and is issued by
the Liquozone Company. which reads:
q No man knows and no man can
discover all the properties which give
to this product its unique and remark |
able power
Accepting the above statement of the |
as correct. the properties, I'M |
known, for injury to health as well as
other properties, unknown, for health
may exist in Liquozone,' unknown
even to the manufacturing chemists.
No evidence has been presented to
the Board of Health on which it can
base instructions to its Food Commits
sioner and Analyst to withdraw his
verbal notification to vendors of said
Liquozone to observe the mandates
Of Sections 1041-1042 and 1043 of the
Revised Laws of Hawaii. -
