ago he startled the Sphinx club mem
hers at dinner by telling them what
they were drinking was not whisky,
although the label on the bottles said
it was. To the members of a house
committee on agriculture he once
served food and drink to illustrate the
difference between the pure and the
adulterated.

more sense about steering clear Of pol
luted water than human beings have.
An instance Of the way in which he
would attract popular attention to GER
tain subjects was a papex that he read
in New York on arsenic IN glycerine
and women's black stockings. He hates
tobacco and would close all bars. In
fifteen years he says people won't dare
smoke in public. He has also talked
about the day when men win be strong
and active although eighty years old.
The poison squads established by DR..
Wiley ate food containing borax and
other preservatives, lived on q diet of
cheese and underwent tobacco and al
cohol tests
affected by DR.. Wiley's analyses, ruL
ings and general activity have long
demanded his removal. His attitude
toward them may be summed up in
his own words, Il don't give a hang
for the business world What I care
for IS the health OF the people. Where
there are hundreds Of dollars involved
there are millions Of lives hanging IN
the balance II Is these consider and
not the business done by any corpora

As TO criticisms against him, DR..
Wiley says:

doesn't hurt me. II they didn't get

greatly increased by work In the
health laboratory OF Berlin, under the

had become state chemist of Indiana
he set about to create n popular de-

relative TO food inspection. Not until
the division of chemistry was allowed
TO take up the study OF food adultera-
tion did DR.. Wiley begin TO see the
possibility Of the realization Of his
ideas on the exposing Of adulterated
foods and drugs
A part OF bulletin Is IN 1887 con-
tains the first report OF his researches.
The interest aroused by the publica-

that he used his power arbitrarily, but
those OF a less prejudiced mind are in
