ADULTERATED
Are Shipments Of BenzOiC Acid
Offered for Entry Into United
States with BOriC Acid.

WASHINGTON, July 2G-Rcccnt
examinations by the chemists engaged
in the endorsements Of the food and
drugs act of shipments Of benzoic acid
offered for entry into the United States
have revealed that much of il is adul-
terated with borlc acid. This adulter-
alton is probably due to the high price
which benzoic acid now commands
owing to its scarcity. 1t is quoted at
about eleven dollars per pound, while
the price of high grade boric acid is
only twenty to twenty-five cents per
pound. AS some OF the shipments Of
benzolc acid have been found to con-
tain as much as thirty per cent boric
acid, the enormous profit in this form
OF adulteratlon is apparent.
The officials in charge OF the en-
Sorcement Of tho food and drugs act
are Of the opinion that ben2oIc acid
containing boric acid is adulterated,
and that shipments Of such a mixture
offered for entry into the United States
should he denied admission under the
food and drugs act.
