such investigations As certain to the
interests of aericuture,' DR.. Wiley
began to purchase samples of various
kinds of food, carried them off TO his
workshop for analysis. and found some
interesting results. Part of the lard turn
ed to be beef fat 4 consdera bic pro-
portion of the maple sugar, molasses,
and honey was found to BE glucose. Beers
and wines were adulterated to an
alarming extent. In various prepared
foods in which preservatives were used
he found harmful quantities OF salicylic
acid formaldehydo, sulphate Of copper,
borax. and benzoato Of soda.
Bulletins were issued giving informa-
ton of the insidous polsons in some Of
the foods offered to the public, but At
first little interest was shown. To con-
vince the people as whole DR.. Wiley

to remain as boarders under the direct
care of DR.. Wiley for year, They were
given the best selected food in the mar

each meal every member of the squad
was given a small capsule containing a
preservative OF the kind that was being
used by some manufacturers in preserv-
ing foods. The amount was approximate

took into their systems every day. NO
