some amazing results have been
found at the state laboratory OF by

cincs sold In Vermont and many of

catarrh cure that retails for 81 an
ounce has been found TO contain moth
ing but common cooking soda, while
another medicine labelled Mexican
beans was found to be borax These
two medicines are manufactured ont
side OF the state, but many irregular.
tiles were found in the preparations
put up within the State
For instance, "A medicine labelled
to contain but . per cent. of alcohol
really contained 60 per cent. and an
other which was labelled 20 per cent
was found to contain but 3 per cent
alcoaol. Altogether about 20 samples
have been examined, considerable
portion Of them being found wrongly
labelled The analyses are made
under the direction Of the state Board
of health In connection with the pure
food law, which went into effect in
Vermont last June.
The manufacturers will be given
time by the board to change these
labels before prosecutions are filed
